Pansies 
Good results may be obtained from sowing seed in May 
in a light, cool, but well moistened soil, enriched with a 
slight amount of barnyard manure or fine ground bone. 
Sow seed in drills, covering them five times their diam¬ 
eter. and firm soil. Water once a day, except in very dry 
weather, when they may be watered twice a day. Seed 
will germinate in about two weeks and should not be 
allowed to dry out. A covering of newspapers will pre¬ 
vent drying out. When plants are large enough to 
handle, they should be transplanted to a distance of one 
foot apart. Where greenhouse and cold frame facilities 
are at hand, seed may be sown in July or August and 
plants protected during winter.
