This attractive plant is too well known to require 

 auy description, as it is a favorite with all ; the seed 

 can be sown from September to March. The best 

 plants are obtained from seed sown in the autumn, 

 and protected during the winter ; these flower early 

 in the spring. The plants from spring sowing 

 should be planted in a shady border ; they produce 

 fine large flowers in the autumn. Pansies require 

 fresh soil, enriched with decomposed manure.
