DOUBLE VIOLETS 93 



approach to a double, pink-coloured Violet. A flower 

 is shown in the plate between two blooms of Marie Louise. 



Mrs. Arthur. A new variety at present considered 

 better than Marie Louise, which it much resembles. A 

 few plants should be given a trial. 



Mrs. D'Arcy. Another new sort with flowers of a 

 distinct shade of mauve. 



Neapolitan. A lavender-coloured flower with white 

 eye. One of the very best for forcing, 



New York. A variety much like Marie Louise, except 

 that the flowers are a shade of mauve. 



BEST DOUBLE WHITE VIOLET 



The best double white Violet is Comte de Brazza, also 

 known as Swanley White. The flowers are very fine, but 

 in some districts the plants show a weakness in constitution. 

 This variety is illustrated in the plate. 



SINGLE FLOWERS 



Amiral Avellan. A very old variety, but still grown 

 for its very sweetly scented reddish-coloured flowers. 



Argentaflora. This flower is white, tinged with pink, 

 of small size, but possessing strong stems. 



Baronne A. de Rothschild. A fine new variety with 

 large, purple flowers.
