It is now more than half a century since the late Mr. James Carter took this plant in hand with a view to its 
improvement in size and range of colourings, and one of our earliest successes was /c/ is lack Pansy (see i o. 957;. 
We also introduced the Peacock Pansy (see No. 951). Both are still amongst the best in cultivation. 
Cultivation.— The Pansy will succeed in any soil that is not too hot and dry, and if a special compost is made 
for them it should consist of one-third rich loam, one-third leaf mould, and one-third well-de^ye ung. n 
early spring the seed should be sown in frames or in boxes for summer and autumn blooming, and later on sowings 
may be made about July out of doors in a partially shaded place, transplanting in October or November into where 
they arc intended to flower the following season. The final position should be an open one, and the plants not 
less than fi inches apart. There should be no check in their progress either by cold winds, '’ery hard frosts, or 
long droughts. Nor should they be watered during the hottest months with very cold wa er. We have classed 
each type so that Pansy lovers have an opportunity of securing a large and varied choice, all representing the v ry 
best strains in cultivation.

“ This year my blooms from your seed of Intermitionat Prize arc better than ever.”— Mrs. MacMahon, Bournemouth. 
“ I should like you to he.ar of the success of a as. 6d. packet of Pansy Seeds I bought in your place u' 
last. It produced 550 good plant.s, many of which flowered in the autumn. Some of the plants are no , • 
the result of the ejcpenaiture of as. 6d. is highly gratifying." — Mr. S. \V. L. t ernandus, Doncaster.
