PANSY (Heartsease, or Viola Tricolor). Nat. Ord., Violaceez. 



The Pansy, or Heartsease, is a general favorite. The flowers are in the 

 greatest perfection in May and June ; the burning sun of summer is un- 

 favorable for their greatest beauty, but in autumn they are fine again. 

 The Pansy can be perpetuated by cuttings or division of the roots. Seeds 

 sown in August, in the open borders, will come up readily in a few weeks. 

 The seeds should be slightly covered with fine soil, and firmly pressed in 

 the earth. As soon as they expand the second set of leaves, they should be 

 planted out into beds ; if planted in the spring, they should not be allowed 

 to flower until late in the fall. They require to be covered during the 

 winter with evergreen boughs or a cold frame. The following seeds were 

 selected from the most celebrated European florists from prize collections, 

 and we can recommend them as first-class in every respect : — 



Pansy. Large-flowering stained variety. This may be considered an 

 extra-fine selection of the popular large-flowering varieties.
