Violet or Tufted Pansies. The Pansy is justly—everj'where and mth everybody—a very popular flower. Its modest and innate sweetness, with its almost human face, endears it to the heart of young and old alike. • It gives an abun- dance of bloom until after severe frosts, endures ovir hard Winters with safety, and greets us in the early Spring with a profusion of bright blossoms. Pansy seed may be sown in the hot-bed or open ground ; if sown in the Spring, get it in as early as possible, so as to secure flowers during the early rains. Seeds so"\vn in a cool place in June or July, and well watered until up, will produce Fall flowering plants. To have good flowers, the plant must be vigorous and make a rapid growth, as it Avill in rich moist loam. Young plants give the largest flowers. Old worn-out plants should be replaced. If the plants come into bloom in the heat of the Summer the flowers will be small at first, but as the weather becomes cooler they will increase in size and beauty. They will flower better in the middle of Summer if planted where it is somewhat shaded from the hot sun, and especially if furnished with a good supply of water; but in almost any situation will give fine flowers in the Spring and Autumn. Violet or Tufted Pansies. For years these hardy, tufted Pansies have been grown in England, where they are most extensively used for borders, but they were always propagated by (luttings. We have succeeded in securing a limited amount of seed. The plants grow in dense, compact little bushes, which are completely covered with their bright flowers from early Spring until late in the Fall. The colors range in all shades of white, pink, blue, yellow, violet and jmrple, as self colors or in combina- tions. It is a decorative plant of the highest order, and we feel sure it will soon be as universally grown in this country as it has been for years in England. PRt. 1 Oc, 3 for 25c. Fairy Queen.
