Payne's Royal Exhibition Pansies 
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 Octo- 
ber. Sow the seed in boxes of fine, rich soil mixed 
with plenty of leaf-mould and sand, cover the seed 
lightly and keep in a frame, lath house, or outside 
in some sheltered and partially shaded place. When 
the plants are large enough to handle, transplant to 
beds of rich, well prepared soil, and cover the sur- 
face with a layer of well rotted, 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 blooming period will be much shorter.
