Pansies 



(Heartsease) hp° 



Pansies, while preferring a light rich soil and a partially shady, 

 cool and moist situation, producing under such ideal conditions, large 

 magnificently colored flowers, will nevertheless thrive under far less 

 favorable surroundings. In fact, almost any soil and situation will 

 give good returns. If planted in full sun exposure, mulch beds during 

 the hot term and water freely; the delicate tints may be partially 

 neutralized and flowers will not attain full size, yet a very rich and 

 continuous display may be had, which in fall will almost equal the 

 early spring show. Faded flowers must be removed every few days 

 to prevent seeding. Seed may be sown from July to September, and 

 these plants protected over winter will flower early in spring and 

 continue throughout the season. Spring-sown seed will flower from 

 summer to fall. We offer a very complete collection of varieties and 

 strains embracing "All That's Good in Pansies."
