Pansies. 
PANSIES (Giant Flowering). The Pansy gives an abundance of bloom until after 
severe frosts, endures our hard winters with safety, and greets us in the 
early spring with a profusion of bright blossoms. Pansies are at their best 
during the cool, moist weather of spring and fall. Seed sown in open ground 
in May or June will give fine blooms in late summer and autumn, and a good 
crop of flowers the following season if the plants are pinched back in early 
spring. Seed sown in midsummer, where it can be shaded and watered will 
produce plants large enough to winter nicely and come into full bloom in 
early spring. Young plants give the largest flowers. Old, worn out plants 
should be replaced by young, vigorous plants.
