Platt’s Superlative Pansy (One-Half Actual Size) 
Pansy 
Heartease 
The pansy stands in a class by itself. It is a flower 
that everyone admires, even if one has 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 retaining 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 dur- 
ing the winter.
