T e8tinq Pansies in Carters Trial Grounds, Raynes Park, 
Cultivation.— The Tansy 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-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 
olace transplanting in October or November into where they are intended to flower the following season. The final position .ho d be 
an open one P , 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 watered during the hottest months with very cold water. We have classed each t>pe so 
that Tansy lovers have an opportunity of securing a large and varied choice, all representing the very best strains in cultivation.
