Exhibition. PANSIES 
Bloom Abundantly from Early Spring 
fo Seuere Frost ; 
A Lovely, Velvety Assortment of Colors 
that Endures All Climates 
The Pansy produces best results 
during the cool days of spring; and 
in a sandy loam, thoroughly prepared 
and supplied with well-rotted ma- 
nure. To assist germination by re- 
taining moisture, cover the seed bed 
with sheeting or single burlap, re- 
moving as soon as seedlings begin to 
appear. From this time on it is im- 
portant never to let the soil become 
. dry; to do so is fatal. Keep moist but 
not soaking wet. For early spring 
flowers, sow seed in August and pro- 
tect during the winter.
