PANSY. 
(HEARTSEASE.) 
We offer seed of the best varieties of this highly esteemed 
flower, and many new sorts and shades may be ob¬ 
tained from the mixed packets. Start early in March 
in the house ; if no greenhouse is convenient a sunny 
window will answer. Sow lightly in fine loam, in a 
box or flower-pot, and transplant when well up. Trans¬ 
plant several times before finally transplanting out of 
doors. Pick off the first buds as soon as they appear, 
and from early fall until the ground freezes you will 
have the largest Pansies possible to grow. Seeds sown 
in a cool place in June, or later, and kept well wa¬ 
tered will produce fall flowering plants. Sow also in 
September for winter flowering The plants should 
always occupy a cool, partially shaded situation, and 
the ground cannot be too rich; coolness and moisture 
are necessary.
