COLE'S FLOWER SEED.

PANSY (Heartsease). 



The Pansy is the most popular of all flowers 

 ffrown from seed. It is everywhere popular 

 both for the brilliant beauty of its flowers and 

 the long continuation of bloom. By pluckin_ 

 off the flowers as soon as they begin to fadr. 

 the succeeding flowers will be much more num 

 erous and of larger size than if they are alloweo 

 to go to seed. Pansies delight in a cool, mois: 

 situation, partially protected from the hot noon 

 day sun; in exposed positions in tne hot sum 

 mer weather, the flowers will be smaller. Seed 

 sown latter part of August or forepart of Seo 

 tember. will make strong young' plants for early 

 spring blooming. Protect in winter with leaver, 

 or evergreen branches. Hardy perennials. 



All our pansy seed is the best to be had.
