HOW TO GROW THIS POPULAR FLOWER 
For very early outdoor Ixjdding, Pansy seed should be 
sown in the fall, in a cold frame, or in rich, moist garden 
beds, from which the plants can be transferred to a cold 
frame, setting them 2 or 3 inches apart each way, before 
severe winter weather begins. In spring three-fourths of 
them can he lifted out for bedding and the rest left to bloom 
in the frame. For winter bloom in a frame, set the plants 
about twice as far apart, and thin out half of them in spring. 
Cover the blooming plants with sashes, adding a covering of 
matting or straw in very cold weather. In mild weather 
remove the mats and tilt the sashes to admit light, heat and 
fresh air. 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. Through summer heat the 
flowers are finer in a somewhat shaded place, but in almost 
any situation eood Pansy seed will give fine flowers in spring 
and fall. Early fall sowings, made in a cold frame, with a 
southern exposure, give the finest flowers.
