Pansies for Spring Bedding.

Pansy seed started in the conservatory or greenhouse now will make good plants for bedding out in the spring. Sow the seeds in seed pans or boxe< and grow .the plants in the shallow boxes used *by florists for this) purpose. - Cold frames should be ready and! kept covered all winter, to take the! plants in March. The plants can be potted and grown 1 in the pots. The object of putting! the plants In the colfl frames is to save room in the greenhouse and also to> harden the plants off so they can be set out early in beds. The sashes; must be taken off the cold frames! early or the plants will become tall; and spindly or “drawn,” as the gar- 1 deners call them.
