DANIELS’ SUPERB PANSIES. 
These beautiful, free-flowering, hardy plants are easily raised from 
seed, and will richly repay the small cost and trouble required to grow 
them to perfection. Sow in February, March, and April in boxes of light rich 
soil placed in a gentle heat, and as soon as large enough, prick out about 
two inches apart on rich soil; finally plant out six or eight inches apart, 
in ground into which well-decayed manure has been worked. Pansies 
delight in a somewhat shady position, and plenty of moisture in dry 
weather. The finest blooms are produced the second year, and grand 
flowers may be had by sowing in July or August in the open ground, and 
planting out in tho following Spring into good rich soil. Per pkt.— a. i-
