IMPERIAL VIOLET. 



10.000 Rooted Cuttings left out of the 20,000. 



Ready for immediate delivery. 

 After these are gone shall not be able to send plants 

 till souiftlme In March. I believe the I niiieilal. with- 

 out exception, is the largest, longest stemmed, deepest 

 blue in color, and most fragrant double violet grown, 

 and for health and vigor cannot be surpassed if it can 

 be equalled. It has never shown the slightest trace 

 of disease nf any kind. I have heard of large yields 

 of tiowers but my jilants to d -te, Jan. 1st, have given 

 me an average of ;:!."» tluwers per plant, and to-day the 

 large fat bmis are as thick as straws. The price of the 

 Imperial has averaged so far forthls season $1.47 per 

 100; can you beat this? If you eauBot. send a small 

 order and give them a trial. With every order of a 

 dozon or more I will send my new book on Violet Cul- 

 ture that will tell you some things that you do not 

 know; It is a plain description of the results of years 

 of careful experiment. The book itself is worlli all 

 you pay fur the plants, and Is, I lielieve.the only work 

 of the kind In i>rlnt; it also describes the model violet 

 house, preparation of beds, soil and fertilizers; this 

 work I have copyrighted and It can only be obtained 

 from me. Price of plants with Violet CiUture :
