Peerless Pansies. 
CULTURE— Pansy seed may be sown in the hotbed or open ground. For early spring flowering it 
is best to sow the seed in September and winter over the young plants in cold frames. If this is not 
practicable, sow the seed in boxes in February or March and transplant^ to open ground a-s soon aa 
the weather will permit. Seeds sown in a cool place in June or .July, and weU watered untu up, wui 
produce fall iJowering plants. Young plants give the largest Qowers.
