PANSY (Heartsease), 



The Pansy is the most popular of all flowers 

 srrown from seed. It is everywhere popular, 

 both for the ■brilliant Tjeauty of its flowers and 

 the lon^ continuation of bloom. By plucking 

 •oft the flowers as soon as they 'bes'in to fad^, 

 the succeeding flowers will be much more num- 

 ■erous and of larger size than if they are allowed 

 to go to seed. Pansies delight in a cool, moist 

 situation, partially protected from the hot noon- 

 clay sun ; in exposed positions in the hot sum- 

 mer weather, the flowers will be smaller. Seed 

 sown latter part of August or forepart of Sep- 

 tember, will make strong youug' plants for early 

 spring blooming. Protect in winter with leaves 

 or evergreen branches. Hardy perenn'als. 



All our pansy seed is the best to be had.
