COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



PANSY (Heartsease) 



The Pansy is the most popular of all flowers grown 

 from seed. It is everywhere popular, both for the 

 brilliant beauty of its flowers and the long contin- 

 uation of bloom. By plucking off the flowers as soon 

 as they begin to fade, the succeeding flowers will be 

 much more numerous and of larger size than ii they 

 are allowed to go to seed. Pansies delight in a cool, 

 moist situation, partially protected from the hot 

 noon-day sun; in exposed positions in the hot sum- 

 mer weather, the flowers will be smaller. Seed sown 

 in the latter part of August or forepart of Septem- 

 ber will make strong young plants for early spiing 

 blooming. Protect in winter with leaves or ever- 

 green branches. Hardy perennials.
