if Your Pansy Bed is Pining — 
Changing the location of a Pansy bed or adding fresh soil to an 
old bed often improves it. Fall plantings are most successful. In 
the northern states late September and October is the best time to 
plant, in the central states early October through November, and 
in the extreme South from November 15 on. 
If plants that have been set out for several weeks do not look 
very vigorous, apply a reliable fertilizer with an analysis of 5-10-5

There are countless places in your garden that 
will be made more attractive by Pansies. They 
are small enough plants to be used in rock gardens, 
but when planted in masses they make a very 
spectacular showing indeed. As an underplanting 
and edging in rose beds they serve a useful purpose, 
and when set in front of shrubs and hedges they 
provide early color in the spring that is very wel- 
come. 
We would like to urge the planting of Pansies 
in the fall, when spring-blooming bulbs and peren- 
nials are being planted. They are very easily com- 
bmed with bulbs in beds and borders. Fall plant- 
ing will allow Pansies to become established over 
winter and to be ready to bloom at the first touch 
of spring. The shock of sprmg transplanting, often 
followed by extremely hot weather, is frequently 
too much for young plants to stand. Why not try 
fall planting this year? When your annuals have 
finished blooming and are ready to be pulled out, 
put Pansy plants in their place. 
and water it down well. Humus is indispensable, for it aerates the 
ground and keeps it cool. Occasional cultivation is also helpful. 
When the ground is frozen hard and a salt hay or straw mulch is 
put on top of the plants for the winter, be careful not to make the 
mulch too thick. The plants should still be visible through the 
covering.
