SEED SHOULD BE PLANTEDNOW FOR SPRING PANSIES

The pansy is becoming more popu.-lar in North Carolina flower gardensbut two many growers depend onbuying plants from nurseries rather

than producing them at home.“We have found that the average

gardener may grow his own plants

with fair success by observing a tewsimple rules,” says J. G. Weaver, incharge of the horticultural green-houses at State college. “The pansygrows best in cool weather and there

is still time to sow seed for flowersnext spring. To grow the plants suc-cessfully one must prepare the seed

bed carefully. This means pulverizingthe soil for about six inches and rak-

ing away all rubbish. Add about one

inch of well rotted manure to the bed

and place about one-half an ihch of

good garden soil on this. Smooth it

down and soak the bed with water.”Weaver says the seed may be plan-

ted on this bed in rows or broadcast.It is better to drill the seed and cov-er them lightly with fine sand. Keepthe surface moist but not wet. Thismay be aided by covering the bed

with unbleached sheeting. As theplants come through, gradually re-move the shade. Never allow the beds

to become dry as this will be fatal

to growing strong plants.As soon as the true leaves are

formed, remove the pansy plants totheir permanent location. Weaversays it is not wise to transplant anymore than is absolutely necessary.
