EARLY PANSIES
Sow your pansy seed early if you desire to have winter flowers. Select a warm place for the beds and use plenty of well-rotted cow manure in the preparation of the ground. Seed should be sown in prepared seed beds, pans or boxes. When the plants are big enough to handle, prick them out into a nursery bed containing a slightly richer soil. A few weeks in these quarters enables them to make fibrous root growth, and become more fitted to fight their way in the open garden. Some wonderful colours in rich shadings are produced in the good class strains.
