PANSY. 
(HEARTSEASE.) 
We offer seed of the best varieties of this highly esteemed 
flower, and many new sorts and shades may be obtained 
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 trans¬ 
plant when well up. Transplant 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 watered 
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.
