PANSY 
These are strictly biennials, but as they flower easily the first season from seed they are often started 
indoors in February or March to bloom outdoors from July on. Most plants are grown from seed sown 
in frames during July and August, transplanted later and wintered over with protection, to give full- 
flowering plants by the following May. If Pansy seed is sown in the garden bed in May, some beautiful 
flowers are produced on the plants by fall of the same year. They like a rich, loamy soil and full sun. 
We offer below the very fimest strains produced by Pansy seed specialists throughout the world.
