New Violet "The California." 



PITCHER & MANDA, Eastern Agents. 



"THE CALIFORNIA" has been in course of propagation for three years, and is now 

 offered as a Tried Sterling Novelty. The price has been placed so low that the 

 plants can be bought in large quantities for cut flower purposes. "THE CALIFOR- 

 NIA" will undoubtedly be the leading Violet next season. Last year a few thousand 

 flowers were ottered in San Francisco, and they were sold for ten times the price of 

 Mane Louise and Russian. This season tens of thousands of "THE CALIFORNIA" 

 have been placed on the market, and are being sold at four times the price of the 

 above varieties. 



DESCRIPTION. — Plant vigorous and absolutely free from disease; flowers single, im- 

 mense in size, covering a silver dollar; color violet-purple (does not fade); fragrance 

 intense; flowers borne on strong stems 10 to 14 inches in length. Last season sev- 

 eral hundred flowers were picked from a single plant. Delivery of plants will begin 

 in March. Orders filled strictly in rotation. 



PRICE.— As the Eastern Agents for this New Violet, we are enabled to offer the 

 plants at the following prices: 25c. each, »2.5o per doz., $15 per 100, $100 per lOCO. 



8^""We have investigated at a considerable e.xperse all that has been said regarding its 

 merits, and believe the above to be true in evt-ry particular.
