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 Jet Black Pansy (see No. 957). 
We also introduced the Peacock Patisy (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 loaf mould, and one-third well-decayed dung. In 
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 6 inches apart. There should be no check in their prt)grcss eitlicr by cold winds, very hard frosts, or 
long droughts. Nor should they be watered during the hottest montlis with very cold water. We have classed 
each type so that Pansy lovers have an opportunity of securing a large and varied choice, all representing the very 
best strains in cultivation. 
“ I should like you to hear of the success of a 2s. 6d. packet of Pansy Seeds I bought in your place in llolborn 
at the end of May last. It produced 550 good plants, many of whicli flowered in the autumn. Some of the 
plants are now full of bloom, and, altogether, the result of the expenditure of 2s. 6d. is highly gratifying.” —
