PANSY (Heartsease) 



Tlie Pansy is the most popular of all flowers grown 

 from seed. It is evoi-ywhere popular, both for the 

 brilliant biauty of its flowors and the long contin- 

 uation of bloom. By plucking off the flowors as soon 

 as tliey begin to fade, the succeeding flowers will be 

 much mor.' 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 Septcm- 

 b r will make strong yoimg plants for early spring 

 blooming. Protect in winter with leaves or ever- 

 green branches. Hardy perennials.
