YI'OLA (Heartsease or Pansy), Nat. Ord. Viola' cece. Hardy perennials. 
In the spring fimver garden the Pansy ( Viola tricolor) blootns contitmously, and produces a matchless effect in 
designs, beds, attd ribbons. From seed the colours cannot be implicitly depended upon ; they should, therefore, be 
transplanted from the seed-bed and floivered before finally platiting out. Seedsman in .fpriug, flowers during the 
summer I sown in summer, flowers in autumn. With a little attention, the Pansy is a chartning plant for 
summer decoraiion. The varieties of Viola are very important, as they succeed in situations where the Pansy 
is a failure, Viola odorata flowers during winter and spring, and is prized for its fragrance.
