18 COLOR ILLUSTRATION OF AMERICAN GIANT PANSY PAGE 27 
CALIFORNIA PANSIES 
Hallawell’s Select Strains 
Pansies thrive in a partially shaded location and in a loose soil, 
enriched with decayed manure, which should be well dug into the 
soil. Seed should be sown in the fall for early spring blooming, 
and early in the year until May for flowers in the spring and 
summer. Sow the seed in a flat or frame, taking care in warm 
weather that the seed bed is kept cool and moist, and when the 
plants are large enough, transplant to stand 6 inches apart.
