GIANT PANSIES ( Perennial) 
The seed may be started indoors in February or in a coldframe in March, in care¬ 
fully pulverized rich soil. Sow seed thinly and cover lightly, keeping the ground moist 
with a spray. Pansy seed germinates slowly and grows best in a cool location with 
good drainage. Transplant to open ground in May. 
If flowers are picked regularly, the plants will continue to bloom until frost. 
Protect with a mulch of straw, or similar material in fall, and they will endure hard 
winters with perfect safety.
