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 wzLs/e/ Black Pansy (see No. 957). 
We also introduced the Peacock Pansy (sec No. 951). Both are still amongst the best in cultivation. 
CuUivaiion . — The Tansy will succeed in an>' 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-decayed dung. In 
• early spring the seed should be sown in frames or in boxes for summerand 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 are 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 progress either by cold winds, very hard frosts, or 
long droughts. Nor should they be waterc<l during the hottest months with very cold water. We have classed 
each type so that Tansy lovers have an opportunity of securing a large and varied choice, all representing the very 
best strains in cultivation. 
“ ] h.-id a magnificent show of your Pansies c.irly in the season." — The Rev. G. H. Huddlesto.ne, West Marsii Vicarage, Ash. 
" 7 'tiis year my blooms from your seed of International Prize are better than ever.”— Mrs. MacMahon, Bournemouth. 
“ I should like you to hear of the success of a as. 6d. packet of Pansy Seeds I bought In your p'acc in Holborn at the end of May 
dasi. It produced 550 good plants, many of which flowered in the autumn. Some of the plants are now full of bloom, and, altogether, 
•the result of the expenditure of 2s. 6cl. is highly gratifying.”— Mr. S. W. L, Fei.nandes, Doncaster.
