PANSY- 
Pansies are the most popular of all the flowers grown from seed. 
For summer blooming sow the seed in a box in the house or in a moderate hotbed in 
February or March. Sow thinly, or else transplant when an inch high to one or two inches 
apart. Give the plants air, so that they may not spindle up, and they may be hardened, 
for transplanting to the open ground, which may be done when spring has fairly opened. 
The soil may be any good garden soil, but the size and the beauty of the flowers will be 
much increased by a liberal amount of well-rotted manure (cow manure is best) well 
worked in. A light clay loam is best of all soils, but good results may be had from any 
except light, poor sandy soil, or heavy, wet clay. A little shade is preferable to an entirely 
exposed situation. Remember that very large flowers can only be grown in rich soil and 
with sufficient moisture.
