The Pansy, or Heartsease, is a general favorite and old acquaintance with every one who has any thing to do with a flower-garden. It begins to open its modest bat livelv flowers as soon as the snow clears off" in the spring, and continues to en- liven the^ garden till snow comes again. The flowers are in the greatest perfection in Mav and June; the burning sun of summer is unfavorable for then" greatest beauty, but in autumn they are flne again. The Pansy is properly a biennial, but can be perpetuated by cuttings or division of the roots. Seeds sown in August, in the open borders, will come up readily in a few weeks. The seeds should be slightly covered with fine soil, if covered at all, as half the seeds sown rot in the gi'ound from being covered too deep. They require to be covered during the win- ter with evergreen boughs or a cold frame. 563 Pansy, Good Mixed 05 564 Fine 3Iixed Good English
