Isn't this a prettv good record- And for these 

 I received from $2.50 to $1.00 per 100. Can vou 

 equal this? And the plants are still throwing as 

 many flowers, if not more than ever. 



I cannot begin to supply the demand for this 

 superb violet; the way things look now, 1 shall 

 not be able to supply the demand for rooted cut- 

 tings. If you get left, you will only blame your- 

 self. My new book on Violet Culture goes with 

 every order for cuttings. 



The violet is the largest, most dou.ble. longest 

 stemmed, color so dark as to look almost artiticial; 

 healthy; and as the record shows, a very free bloom- 

 er. The parent plant of this magnificent variety 

 gave me 118 of the finest flowers you ever saw.
