Own Pansies—and Profitable Too!! 57 
VUCUCATEA CADUCEUS eee ese eee 

It is easy to grow your own Pansies. 
and therefore the best time to start them is in July or early August of the previous year. Choose 
a sheltered spot for the seed bed—a coldframe is especially good—and dig the soil over to the full 
depth of a spading fork. Be sure that the surface soil is thoroughly pulverized and level. 
_ Sow the seed in shallow drills or broadcast over the surface as thinly as possible. 
as lightly as possible (no more than ¥ inch) and then press surface firmly with a flat board. 
They are at their best during the cool days of early Spring 
Cover just 
Protect 
the seed bed with some such material as cheese cloth to shelter it from the sun and showers and as 
soon as the seeds begin to sprout, raise this covering on stakes so that it will hang a few inches above 
the plants. As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle, thin out or transplant far enough 
apart so that they will not crowd each other. Transplant to their permanent positions in September.

2858 The painstaking care that has been given this mixture of super-Pansies convinces us 
that comparison with any other strain is utterly useless. The mixture has purposely been 
restricted to comparatively few colors, and each type of flower represented has undergone 
careful selection for gigantic size, texture and individual beauty.
