PANSY. [Viola tricolor] 
GERMAN PANSIES. 
These are truly the gems of the floral world. Being so well-known and so very 
popular, both with Florists and amateurs, any description or expression of admira¬ 
tion we think unnecessary. The Pansy, or Heartsease, gives an abundance of bloom 
until after severe frosts, endures our hard winters with safety, and greets us in 
early spring with a profusion of magnificent blossoms. It will flower better in the 
middle of summer if planted in a shady location ; but in almost any situation will 
give fine flowers in spring and autumn. Seed may be sown in the fall or very early 
in spring, in a hot-bed or in open ground, and transplanted to the location where 
designed to bloom. Transplant one foot apart. Our seed is from a pansy specialist 
in Germany, and includes all af the best varieties grown at the present time. There 
is no better stock to be had anywhere. (Illustration.)
