DREER'S FLOWER SEEDS FOR AUTUMN SOWING 



65 



DREER'S PERFECT PANSIES 



For best results you must start with a good strain. The finest Pansies are, as a rule, shy seeders, which accounts for the difference 

 in the price of the various mixtures offered. 



About the middle of August is the best time for starting Pansj' seeds for early spring blooming, as this allows the plants to go into 

 winter in vigorous condition. A soil containing a proportion of leaf mold, well enriched with well-decayed cow manure, will be the most 

 satisfactory for the growing of this flower, and it should be well dug and made iine and level. 



Sow the seeds in driDs, 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 bed with newspapers 

 will prevent this and hasten somewhat the period of germination. 



As soon as the plants are up and large enough to handle, they should be thinned out or transplanted to stand nine inches apart.
