. Dreer's mid-summer list 1925 . Dreer's Perfect Pansies Pansics are too well known to require any description, as they are favorites with all. For best results you must start with a good strain. The finest Pansics are, as a rule, shy seeders, which accounts for the difference in the price of the various mixtures offered. Pansy seed germinates and the plants grow more freely in the cool, early days of spring, and for summer-blooming should be sown by the latter part of April, or early in May, in the vicinity of Philadelphia. About the middle of August is the best time for starting Pansy seeds

Pansy seed germinates and the plants grow more freely in the cool, early days of spring, and for summer-blooming should be sown by the latter part of April, or early in May, in the vicinity of Philadelphia. 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 mould, well enriched with well-decayed cow manure, will be the most satisfactory fur 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 tinning the soil well above them. The seeds germinate in from eiu'ht 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 some- what 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 in the rows. Thorough cultivation should be given from the start, as Pansies will not thrive when obliged to share the beds with a mass of weeds. It is a mistake to plant Pansies in the shade of a tree or buildings. An open exposure, where the wind has a free sweep over the bed is far better, and Pansies so planted arc free from the long, straggling branches which produce few and inferior flowers. During dry weather the bed should be watered daily. Royal Exhibition Pansy PANSIES IN PER PKT 3510 Dreer's Royal Exhibition. This is our finest mixture, both as regards size, texture and colorings.
