HENRY A, DREER, PHILADELPHIA—FLOWER SEEDS 51 DREER'S PERFECT PANSIES Pansies are too well known to require any description, as they are favorit&s with all. For best results you must start with a good strain. The finest Pansies are, as a rule, shy seeders, which accounts for the difference in the price of the various mixtures offered. About the middle of August is the best time for starting Pansy seeds for early spring blooming, as this allows the plants to go into winter in vigorous condition. Sow the seeds in drills, covering them not more than four times their diameter and firming the soil well above them. The seeds germinate in from eight to twelve days, and should not be allowed to dry out during this period. Covering the seed beds with newspapers will prevent this and hasten somewhat the period of germination. PANSIES IN MIXTURE Per pkt. 3510 Dreer's Royal Exhibition.
