very large flowers are of the loveliest pale blue, tinted with 

 mauve. Plant compact and dwarf, growing in very sandy soil, 

 where there is but slight shade. It is quite distinct from, and very 

 sui^erior to Viola jirdinafct and Viola pinnata, and will, we feel 

 sure, become a favourite wherever known." The Plate faith- 

 fully represents its very free-flowering qualities, while the shade 

 of colour is one that is vciy much required in the present style 

 of gardening.
