WORLD RENQWNED==OF HIGH EST PER FECTION. 



A universal favorite with young and old. Every child sees the face in the Pansy, and. aside from its great beauty, we all treasure 

 -.t as the symbol of modest worth and true affection. The smallest vard must have its Pansies. Not poor, forlorn plants struggling- 

 with heat and drouth and hard baked ground, though even there yielding us handfuls of cheery bloom: but rather, stron<T vi^oro-.r^ 

 plants, riotous in the cool, deep, mellow beds they love, made rich with fertilizers, kept free from weeds, and shaded from the hot 

 afternoon sun. In such a bed one may gather great, velvety Pansies by the handfuls — flowers so radiant Iv beautiful that they 

 scarcely seem of the earth. Although the Pansy loves coolness, it gives the largest, finest blooms in early Spring and late Autumn 

 rhey are so easy to grow that those living in the South can gi-ow superb ones by giving rich bed, sheltered location and abundant 

 water, bow seed either m house or open ground. In the open ground sow seed verv early in the Spring while the ground is yet cool 

 and moist, for late summer and fall bloom ; or in August and September for Spring and early Summer bloom. For Fall-sown seed 

 have the bed moist and kept shaded by boards or papers until the plants appear. These wiU make vigorous plants that will endure 

 the winter ii protected by a few evergreen boughs or other lisrht covei-ing. Do not let the plants seed if you wish to keep them in 

 bloom. Poor Pansy seed is dear at any price. Mine is saved with great care and is the best.
