Pansies 



The most popular flower of the garden; everyone loves pansies. 

 No flower responds more quickly to careful attention than does 

 this one and it should be the desire of every gardener to grow large 

 pansies with long strong stems and a wide range of color. To get 

 the best results pansies should be sown in July or August for early 

 spring bloom and in the spring for fall bloom. 



In germinating seed allow plenty of ventilation. Keep your beds 

 moist, but not soaking wet, until plants come up. Never allow your 

 beds to become dry. Any dryness after seeds sprout is absolutely 

 fatal. Use 60 to 75 sq. ft. to sow an ounce. 5000 plants are estimated 

 to the ounce and many growers report much higher percentages.
