To the writer this is nothing out of the ordinary. He has had a number of pansy stalks, a pale blue, from which he has taken flowers every month since last Summer. They are growing in a natural rock garden facing the South and although covered with snow to- day, will display flowers within a few days after the snow melts. Two years ago we picked pansies from these stalks every month during the entire winter. On Christmas of that year there were at least a dozen blooms removed. Seemingly the pansy is quite hardy. Qe.
