Thorbum’s Superb Pansies 
CARTERS TESTED SEEDS, INC. J- M. THORRURN & CO. 
PANSY 
Pansies will succeed in any soil that is not too hot and dry, and if a special compost is made 
for them it should consist of one-third rich loam, one-third Rex Humus (leaf mold will do), and 
one-third well-decayed manure. In early spring the seed should be sown in frames or in boxes 
for summer and autumn blooming, and later on sowings may be made about July out of doors in 
a partially shaded place, transplanting in October or November into where they are intended to 
flower the following season. The final position should be an open one, and the plants not less than 
6 inches apart. They should be covered with straw or leaves during the winter to protect them 
from the cold winds and heavy frosts. We have classed each type so that Pansy lovers have an 
opportunity of securing a large and varied choice, all representing the very best strains in cultivation.
