Platt’s Superlative Pansy, (One-Half Actual Size) 
Pansy 
Heartsease 
The pansy stands in a class by itself. It is a 
flower that everyone admires, even if only a small 
place to raise them. The pansy produces best 
results during the cool days of spring, and in a 
sandy loam thoroughly prepared and supplied with 
well-rotted manure. To assist germination by re- 
taining moisture, cover the seed bed with sheeting 
or single burlap, removing as soon as seedlings 
begin to appear. From this time on it is important 
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 protect during 
the winter.
