Pansies 
M.-S. PERFECTION PANSIES 
Strictly considered, this is a biennial, but 
the fact that it flowers the first season from 
seed recommends it for an annual. There 
are actually three seasons in which Pansies 
can be planted. If started in the house from 
February till April Pansies will begin to 
bloom from July on; sown outdoors in May, 
beautiful flowers are produced in the Fall; 
sown in frames during July and August and 
transplanting later gives us the main crop of 
flowers the following Spring. Pansies thrive 
best in moist, semi-shade situations, open 
exposure.
