PANSIES.—Our selection of this well-known flower is, we believe, the best 
that is offered anywhere for size, variety and beauty, and have no equal. ‘To 
grow pansies and secure the largest and best flowers, the seed should be sown 
in january and February in the greenhouse or in boxes in the house. Care 
should be taken to spray the young plants daily to keep off vermin. Plant 
out as soon as favorable to the open; grow in deep, rich soil. Remember, for 
pansies the soil cannot be too rich, and your trouble is amply repaid by the 
beauty of the flowers. Pansies will stand the winter as far north as New 
York City; to secure good plants for winter, seed in July and plant in beds in 
September and October. Pansies are in every way much more satisfactory 
for beds over winter than Hyacinths and Tulips. Packet, BmGentse
