PANSIES 
PANSIES are so well known they need no description. For successful 
germination and lovely blooms, prepare the soil carefully. Plant seed 
during the fall months in a semi-shady location, in well moistened, 
finely pulverized soil, enriched with a slight amount of barnyard fertil- 
izer or bone meal. Cover seed lightly and firm soil. Keep beds moist 
but not soaking wet until plants are up. Transplant to 8 to 12 inches 
apart. Water young plants very sparingly to avoid damping off, but do 
not allow soil to dry out at any time. Annual.
