Tufted Pansies —-See Viola Cornuta. 
It is often difficult for the gardener to know 
at what time of Spring to plant seeds outdoors, 
so as to avoid the danger of a late frost. 
Here is a rule, and a very old one, which will 
materially help. 
Sow hardy varieties when the Apple or 
Pear is in full flower, and plant the tender 
varieties when the Oak and other late sprouters 
are coming into leaf.
