or less submerged in the water, so that you may safely 
pursue the method of growing them in pans of water 
if you like. 
Viola Seed.— R . J. K . : Viola or Pansy seed may 
be sown almost at any time of the year, but you 
cannot expect the seedlings to make much growth 
after this time of the year, unless they are kept 
in a warm greenhouse or the weather keeps 
moderately mild. We should prefer keeping 
the seed till March, and would then sow it in 
a box or boxes, according to the quantity. By 
placing the boxes in heat the seedlings would 
appear more quickly; after they are up, the boxes 
should be transferred to cooler quarters, and 
ultimately to a cold frame, always keeping them 
close to the glass to prevent the seedlings from 
getting drawn. As the latter increase in size and the 
weather gets warmer, give plenty of ventilation. 
When well hardened off they may be planted out in 
beds sometime in May according to the state of the 
weather. They will commence flowering moderately 
early in the season and will keep on till autumn if 
they are not allowed to get crowded in the seed bed.
