Ko Exhkilitioa PANSIES 
Bloom Abundantly 
from Early Spring 
to Severe Frost 
A Lovely, Velvety Assortment 
of Colors Endures All Climates 
The Pansy produces best results during the cool days of spring, and in 
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 during the winter.
