Pansies 
Good results may be obtained from sowing seed in 
May in a light, cool, but well moistened soil, enriched 
with a slight amount of barnyard manure or fine ground 
bone. Sow seed in drills, covering them five 
times their diameter, and firm soil. Water once 
a day, except in very dry weather, when they 
may be watered twice a day. Seed will germinate 
in about two weeks and should not be allowed 
to dry out. A covering of newspapers will prevent 
drying out. When plants are large enough to 
handle, they should be transplanted to a distance 
of one foot apart. Where greenhouse and cold 
frame facilities are at hand, seed may be sown 
in July or August and plants protected during 
winter.
