The name refers to an old Scotch ballad ; a suitable Tulip 

 for this plant is Wouverman, and a band of Aubrietia graeca, 

 blue, will form a suitable edging to the bed. 



Uiola {F)ullion. This the best and freest flowering 

 yellow when it does well. Unfortunately, it is rather tender 

 and should only be used in favourable positions ; Tulip 

 Duchesse de Parma, or T. Golden Crown may be used with 

 it, and Double Red Daisies make a pretty edging for the bed. 



Uiola Canary. This is a pale yellow variety, lately raised 

 here. It makes a nice centre for a bed, and may have Tulip 

 Le Merveille planted with it, and a band of Aubrietia 

 Hendersonii at the edge of the bed. 



*Uiola Cliveden Purple. Instead of being purple, this 

 variety is a rich claret colour ; it is one of the oldest and still 

 one of the most effective, as it commences to flower early and 

 continues until many of the other spring flowers are over. 

 I have used it as a broad band around other plants such as 

 Wallflower Salmon Queen, or White Polyanthus ; a broad 

 line of Aubrietia graeca, blue, may follow it, then a row of 

 Phlox Newry Seedling, to be finished off with a single line 

 of Saxifraga moschata atropurpurea ; the whole of this 

 arrangement would require a bed not less than twelve feet 

 across. 



Viola Countess of Kintore. This is a general favourite, 

 its colour being a rich purple, with a white blotch on the 

 upper petals. It harmonises well with Tulip Proserpine, or if 

 the bed is a small one T. Stanley may be used ; for an 

 edging Saxifraga Camposii or two lines of Holcus mollis 

 variegata are suitable.
