Ord., Violacece. The Pansy, or Heartsease, is a general favorite and old acquaintance with every one who has any thing to do witli a flower-garden. It begins to open its modest but lively flowers as soon as the snow clears off in the spring, and continues to enliven the garden till snow conies .igain. The flowers are in the greatest perfection in May and June : the burning sun of summer is unfavorable for their greatest beauty, but in autuiVin they are fine again. The Pansy is properly a biennial, but cari 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 ground from being covered too deep. As soon as they expand the second set of leaves, they should be planted out into beds; if planted in the spring, they should not be allowed to flower imtil late in the fall ; the buds should be picked ofif during the summer, which will make the plants bushy and compact. They require to be covered during the winter with evergi-een boughs or a cold frame. The following seeds were selected by some of the most celebrated European florists from prize collections, and we can recomrnend them as first- class in every respect. 1093 Pansy, Good Mixed 05 1094 Fine Mixed 10 1095 Extra Mixed.
