“THOSE
LOVELY
PANSIES,”
These little beauties need no extended description, as it would be hard to find even a child in the land whose heart has not been gladdened by their bright faces. Pansies like a moist, rather shady location and rich soil. Should be watered freely in dry weather. Seed started in February or March will produce early spring flowers. The largest flowers are always produced on plants which come into bloom in the autumn. Pansies are a specialty with us, and we use the greatest care in growing, selecting and importing the best strains of these universal favorites. All should try our new varieties.
