HASTINGS’ PANSIES 
Pansies have long been .a very popular favorite with flower lovers and they make 
delightful beds Avhere a little care is taken AA’ith them. For proper results you must 
start with a good strain of good seeds. The finest Pansies are shy-seeders, as a rule, 
and that accounts for the difference in price of the different types. 
Prepare your bed deeply and AA’ell and leA’el it. Soil with a proportion of leaf mold 
and decayed coav manure gives best results. The seeds germinate in about 10 days 
and must not dry out during this period ; laying newspapers over the bed prevents 
drying out. Thin out when large enough to handle or transplant to stand nine inches 
apart in the rows and cultivate frequently. During dry weather, AA'ater the bed daily. 
About the first of September is the best time to sow Pansy seeds for early spring 
blooming, allowing the plants to go into the winter in vigorous condition. They need 
only slight protection to stand our winters perfectly.
