PANSIES 
Pansies thrive best in a moist, sunny location and in rich, loamy soil. Seed 
should be sown in flats in the autumn for early spring blossoms, or can be 
sown early in the year for good flowers later in the spring. The plants must 
be transplanted twice in order to get the largest flowers; once from the seed 
box to a sheltered bed, and again to the open garden. This is important for 
large size Pansies. Use manure liberally in preparing the bed. The blossoms 
are usually larger in the spring and again in the fall, and while they bloom 
freely all summer, the blossoms are small during the hot months.
