PANSIES (Heartsease) 



HP 



Pansies, while preferring a Unlit, rich soil and a partially shady, 

 cool and moist situation, producing, under such ideal conditions, large, 



magnificently colored Sowers, will nevertheless thrive under less favor- 

 able surroundings. In fact, almost any soil and situation will give good 

 returns. If planted in full sun exposure, mulch beds during the hot term 

 and water freely; the delicate tints may he partially neutralized, and 

 (lowers will not attain full size, yet a very rich and continuous display 

 may be had which in fall will almost equal the early spring show. Faded 

 flowers must be removed every few days to prevent seeding. Seed 

 may be sown from July to September, and these plants, protected 

 over winter, will (lower early in spring and continue through- 

 out the season. Spring-sown seed will flower from summer to 

 fall. We oirer a very complete collection of varieties and strains 

 embracing "All That's Good in Pansies."
