SELECTED FLOWER SEED—Continued 
Pansies 
These well known hardy perennials as usually 
grown as annuals or biennials. They are not 
hard to cultivate and bloom profusely for many 
months. 
Seed may be sown indoors very early in spring, 
or a little later in the open ground, and trans¬ 
planted when an inch .high. Such plants will 
commence to bloom in June. If sown in July, 
the plants will bloom in the fall, or if sown in 
September, the following spring. Well pulverized 
soil should be used and the seeds covered one- 
eighth to one-fourth inch deep with fine soil 
firmly pressed down. The largest and best flow¬ 
ers are produced by young plants which have 
been grown rather slowly in a partially shaded 
situation, and in very rich soil ; coolness and 
moisture are necessary. A situation sheltered 
from high winds and exposed to the morning sun 
is most favorable and frequent sprinklings are 
advantageous. Grown indoors pansies make a 
good winter blooming pot plant.
