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; 

 continuation of bloom. By plucking off the 

 flowers as soon as they begin to fade, the suc- 

 rccding flowers will be much more numerous and 

 oi larger size than if 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 summer weather, the 

 flowers will be smaller. Seed sown in the latter 

 part of August or forepart of September will 

 make strong young plants for early spring bloom- 

 ing. Protect in winter with leaves or evergreen 

 branches. Hardy perennials.
