down with a board. Take a piece of burlap the size 
of the bed and stretch it out over the ground. Place 
some pieces of wood around the edge to keep the 
burlap from blowing away, and keep it well watered, 
using a fine spray. As soon as the seed has 
sprouted, take the burlap off and nail it over a 
wooden framework the same size as the bed. Sup- 
port this at each end by two small posts and a cross 
piece, placing this frame about one foot from the 
ground. After about a week, remove this framework, 
except during the hottest part of the day. In two or 
three weeks it can be discarded entirely. When the 
plants are large enough to handle, transplant to beds 
of rich, well prepared soil, and cover the surface 
with a layer of well rotten, sifted manure. Pansies 
prefer a rather heavy soil with plenty of well rotted 
manure; this is very essential. Indeed, it is almost 
impossible to use too much manure on pansies and 
the richer the soil the larger and more perfect will 
be the flowers. Later sowings may be made up to 
the beginning of February, but they will not do as 
well as those sown early in the fall and the bloom- 
ing period will be much shorter.

PANSIES 
Truly speaking, a perennial, but an annual in Cali- 
fornia. To obtain the best results the seed should 
be sown in August, September, or early part of 
October. Prepare a bed in the open ground in the 
following manner: Dig up the ground and level off 
the surface. Take some good garden soil and run it 
through a sieve, mix this with some good rotted 
manure and sand, which has also been screened, 
using about two parts of soil to one of manure and 
one of sand. Spread this out over the surface, press 
it down, and level off with a board. Sow the seed 
broad-cast, coverig it with about an eighth of an 
inch of the same soil, and again press the surface
