THE NEBRASKA SEED CO* OMAHA, NEB, 
The Pansy is a plant that we all delight to grow in plentiful supply for flowers all the 
year. For very early outdoor bedding, the seed is sown from August to October, in a cold- 
frame, or in rich, moist garden beds, from which the plants can be transferred to a cold- 
frame, setting them 2 to 3 inches apart each way before severe winter weather begins Its 
spring, three-fourths of them can be lifted out for bedding and the rest left to bloom in 
the frame. For winter blooming in a frame, set the plants about twice as far apart, and 
thin out half of them in the spring. Cover the blooming plants with sashes, adding a cov¬ 
ering of matting or straw in very cold weather. Tn mild weather, remove the mats and tilt 
the sashes to admit light, heat and fresh air. Tn outdoor beds, raised a few inches abov* 
the ground, with a mulch of dry leaves and some brush to hold them in place, pansies 
will often winter nicely and bloom until midsummer, when a relay of young, virgorous 
plants should be ready to replace them. Spring sowings should be made early so as to 
secure good flowers during the early rains. Seed sown in a cool, moist place in June and 
July, and well tended, will give good flowering plants for fall. If they come into bloom in 
the heat of the summer, the flowers may be small at first, but, as the weather becomes 
cooler, they will increase in size and beauty. Through summer heat the flowers are finer 
In a somewhat shaded place, but in almost any situation good Pansy seed will give fins 
flowers in spring and fall. Early fall sowings give the finest flowers. The higher-priced sorts 
produce the largest flowers. This should be borne in mind when ordering.
