DREER'S PERFECT PANSIES 



Pansy seed germinates and the plants grow more freely in the cool, early days of spring, and for summer-blooming should be sown 

 by the latter part of April, or early in May, in the vicinity of Philadelphia. A soil containing a proportion of leaf mould, 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 fine and 

 level. 



Sow the seed in drills, 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 in the 

 rows. Thorough cultivation should be given from the start, as Pansies will not thrive when obliged to share the beds with a mass 

 of weeds.
