Pansies — Universal Favorites. 



Pansies 



Cool weather and moist soil produce the 

 larfesst and finest Pansies. The best time 

 to sow is during July or August, in shaded 

 frames, in which the plants, given some 

 protection, may be carried over winter and 

 set out early the following Spring when 

 they will commence to bloom at onoe and 

 continue all Summer if watered plentifully. 

 Next best is to sow indoors or in the hotbed 

 in February or March. 



Seed sown in May will give blooming 

 plants in the fall. Space Pansy plants at 

 least a foot apart and keep the faded flow- 

 ers picked.
