BUIST’S PRIZE—THE IDEAL PANSY 
BUIST’S GIANT PANSIES 
PANSY 
This beautiful flower is too well 
known to need any description. The 
seed we offer has been saved from the 
most distinct and best'named varieties. 
The higher priced sorts produce the 
best flowers. Pansies thrive best in a 
moist, rich, loamy soil. For Summer 
blooming, sow seed indoors very early 
and transplant when 2 inches high or 
sow in the open ground the latter 
part of April. For early Spring 
blooming, sow seed in August or 
September and transplant 4 to 5 
inches apart into cold frames or they 
may be wintered over in the open 
ground with protection of hay or 
straw. In the early Spring, transplant 
to their flowering beds to stand 9 
inches apart. Well pulverized soil 
should be used and the seed covered 
about four times their size and firmly 
pressed down. During dry weather, 
the bed should be watered daily. 
Hardy perennials but usually treated 
as an annual or biennial.
