Ross 9 Selected Pansies 
The Pansy stands in a class by itself. It is a flower that everyone 
admires, even if only a small place to raise them. The Pansy pro' 
duces best results during the cool days of spring, and in a sandy 
loam, thoroughly prepared and supplied with well-rotted manure. 
To assist germination by retaining moisture, cover the seed bed 
with sheeting or single burlap, removing as soon as seedlings begin 
to appear. From this time on it is important never to let the soil 
become dry; to do so is fatal. Keep moist but not soaking wet. 
For early spring flowers, sow seed in August and protect during 
the winter.
