Pansy. 
Pansies are one of our specialties. We take great pains 
to get the choicest and best of seed and can confidently 
recommend it. After securing good seed the great secret 
of raising Pansies in perfection is to make the soil ex¬ 
tremely rich. Nitrate of Soda has a wonderful effect on 
the growth of the plants, and on the size and brilliancy of 
the flowers. 
Sow the seed in a box in the house early in the spring, 
say from the first to the twentieth of March. Sow in rows 
an inch apart, and drop two or 
three seeds to each inch of row. 
Choice seed is very expensive, 
and it will pay well to take extra 
pains to raise good plants, and 
save every one of them. If the 
plants in the original box begin 
to crowd each other before the 
soil in the garden is ready for 
them, transplant into another 
box in the house, or cold frame, 
or spent hot bed covered with 
cloth sash. In the latter case 
plunge the box in the soil of the 
bed and keep the plants well wat¬ 
ered. The plants will stand but 
very little bot¬ 
tom heat. 
New English Seedling Pansies. 
Our seed is the best that can be got in Europe. It is very 
expensive, but will give far greater satisfaction than cheap

The seed may be sown in moist ground in May or June 
for autumn flowering.
