Dreer's Perfect Pansies 



Pansies are too well known to require any description, as they 

 are favorites with all. For best results you must start with a good 

 strain. The finest Pansies are, as a rule, shy seeders, which ac- 

 counts for the difference in the price of the various mixtures 

 offered. 



Pansy seeds may be sown any time in the autumn, the earlier 

 the better, for early spring blooming, as this allows the plants to 

 go into winter in vigorous condition. .Sow the seeds in drills, 

 covering them not more than four times their diameter and 

 firming the soil well above them. The seeds germinate in from 

 eight to twelve days, and should not be allowed to dry out during 

 this period. Covering the seed beds with newspapers will prevent 

 this and hasten somewhat the period of germination.
