VIOLETS. 

 RILEY'S VIOLA ARBOREA, or PERPETUAL 



X TREE VIOLET (true).— In answer to numerous inquiries 

 for the above, and great satisfaction giren by the plants sent 

 out last season, by Edward Tilet, he begs to state that he has 

 this year a fine stock of ihe above beautiful Doub'e Violet now 

 to dispose of, which he can htghly recommend, this being the 

 proper time for in iking beds or potting. They are beautifully 

 scented ; the blooms are as large as the Double Blue Hfpetica ; 

 they bloom freely from August till the end of May, and are 

 perfectly hardy. Twelve of these plants grown in pots will 

 scent a large greenhouse ; and a small bed, '3 feet long by 3 feet 

 wide, will be sufficieat to furnish a family with b mquets, tho 

 whole of the winter and the - ;. They should be planted in 



rather a dry situation and a loose Soil, as the Violet will thrivo 

 and blo« m finer than in wet or clay borders. 



E. T. has been informed b> the gentleman that introduced it 

 into this country, that he has seen them growing in the thickets- 

 of Pereia to tho height of 4 feet, with large bushy heads to them, 

 and hundreds of blooms on them at the same time. Large 

 bushy plants, 6s per dozen ; smaller ditt 3s. per dozen, or 

 11. per 100. Any quantity of the above will be tent postage 

 and package free.
