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. A soil containing a proportion of leaf mold, well enriched with well-decayed cow manure, will be the most satisfactory for the growing of this flower, and it should be well dug and made fine and level. 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 bed with newspapers will prevent this and hasten somewhat the period of germination. As soon as the plants are up and large enough to handle, they should be thinned out or transplanted to stand nine inches apart. SWISS GIANT PANSIES The plants are of unusually robust habit. The very large llowers of heavy texture are held well above the foliage on long strong stems. PER PKT. 3523 Alpenglow. Striking and attractive shades of Cardinal with three dark, blotches.
