Michell’s Pansies 
Strictly considered, this is a biennial, but the fact that it flowers the first season from seed 
recommends it as an annual. There are actually three seasons in which Pansies can be planted: 
If started in the house from February until 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 transplanted later, they give us the main crop of flowers the following spring. 
Shakespeare's Pansies 
These are the simple, quaint, little Pansies 
of Shakespeare’s time, and are suitable for 
any location in the garden. They can be 
very easily grown wherever Pansies are suc- 
cessful and are most ideal for the old-fash- 
ioned garden, the rock-garden, or that shady 
location in the border. The habit of growth 
is similar to Violas, and they flower con- 
tinually throughout the season. The flowers 
range through purples, yellows, blues, and 
whites, and are delightfully fragrant. Pkt.
