WAST YEAR a prominent Violet-iirower of Pennsylvania received privately 

 I twenty live plants of THE CALIFORNIA VIOLET, and has thoroughly tested 



1 ^ growinj; them for profit. Ills e.vperience is they grow as healthy and strong in 

 Pennsylvania as in California, under exactly the same treatment as given to the 

 Marie Louise, and he considers them by far the most profitable and satisfactory Vio- 

 let to grow. They have bloomed profusely with him since last September, with every 

 prospect ( f continuing to bloom until late spring, as when recently seen his plants 

 had an average of at least fifty buds and lluwers on each. His plants have produced 

 Violets as large as grown in California, on upright, stifT stems, ten to twelve inches 

 long. He will plant them very largely the coming season. 



We have advices from California that we are to receive the first eastern shipment made of 

 the Violets, which will probably arrive during the ne.xt ten days, and we shall be 

 pleased to receive orders for immediate or later shipment, as may be preferred. 



In a nutshell, it has been demonstrated that THE CALIFORNIA VIOLET grows equally 

 well in the east as in California, and every claim made for it in California has been 

 realized in Pennsylvania. 



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, sometimes two flow- 

 ers on a stem. Last season several hundred flowers were picked from a single plant. 

 Delivery of plants will begin in February. Orders fiUcd strictly in rotation. 



CULTURE.— "The California Violet" is hardy, and should be grown e.xactly the 

 same as Marie Louise or other Violfts, either in cold frames or Violet houses; or, if 

 planted in the open ground, will bloom in the earlv fall and spring. 



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

 plants at the following prices: 25c. each, S2,50 per doz., |15 per 100, $100 pfr 1000.
