JORDAN’S PANSY GARDEN 
1. Select a sunny location, but if possible a place that will receive some 
shade in the afternoon. Good garden soil will be satisfactory, pro¬ 
vided drainage can be furnished; if drainage is lacking, raise the 
bed about 4 inches above the surrounding soil, adding a considerable 
amount of sand and plenty of humus. 
2. Cover the entire bed with 1 inch or more of well-rotted stable manure 
if it can be obtained. If you cannot secure stable manure, use 
pulverized sheep- or cow-manure. This covering should be turned 
under to a depth of G to 8 inches, letting it stand for several weeks 
before setting the plants. 
3. If the soil on the bed is dry, it should be soaked thoroughly and allowed 
to dry off until it is not sticky; then pulverize it to a depth of about 
6 inches, firm it, and set the plants not less than 4 inches apart— 
a greater distance if you have the space. They should be set only 
as deep as they were in the nursery, and the crown should not be 
covered. Water the bed after planting and give shade during the 
middle of the day until the plants are well rooted. 
4. After the plants have become well established, at intervals of 6 to 8 
weeks, give an application of pulverized sheep- or cow-manure, or 
commercial fertilizer, which must be used strictly according to direc¬ 
tions. Pansies are heavy feeders and in order to have large and highly 
colored flowers the soil must be very rich.
