Pansy (Viola tricolor Under the name)

(Viola tricolor). Under the name of Heartsease, and several other popular designations, this plant has long been grown in gardens, where its flowers have been amongst those most generally favoured by rich and poor alike. This can scarcely be wondered at, considering the ease with which Pansies may be grown by almost anyone, the wonderful diversity in colour and marking which the different flowers exhibit, and the ornamental and floriferous habit the plants assume. Even those who are not sufficiently interested in Pansies to grow a collection of named varieties, may procure a packet of mixed seeds, and raise any quantity of plants, that will scarcely be less ornamental for the hardy flower garden or mixed border.
