Buist’s Prize Pansy 
Pansy ® 
Annual or Biennial. 8 in. April-October. 
T his beautiful flower is too well known to 
need any description. The seed we offer 
has been saved from the most distinct and 
best-named varieties. The higher priced sorts 
produce the best flowers. 
Pansies like a cold, moist situation. They 
thrive in a rich loamy soil containing leaf 
mould and cow manure, well-rotted or pre¬ 
pared in dry form. Sow the seed in well pul¬ 
verized soil, covering the seed four times their 
size and firmly press the soil. When large 
enough transplant. Cultivate frequently. 
For Summer blooming, sow seed indoors 
very early and transplant when 2 inches high 
or sow in the open ground in April. For early 
Spring blooming, sow seed in August or Sep¬ 
tember and transplant 4 to 5 inches apart into 
cold frames or they may be wintered over in 
the open ground with protection of hay or 
straw. In the early Spring, transplant to their 
flowering beds to stand 9 inches apart. Dur¬ 
ing dry weather, the bed should be watered 
daily.
