 stove and greenhouse aquatic species should 

 be grown in tubs or cisterns of water. The 

 hardy lands succeed well in a pond. The 

 marshy kinds, as V. >geminata, require to be 

 grown in pots, ina mixture of peat and sand, 

 and the pots to be placed in water. They are 

 all readily increased ! by divisions, or by seed.

Vi6la, Linn. Latin name of the flowers. Linn. 

 5, Or. I, Nat. Or. Violdceat. All the species 

 of this genus deserve to be cultivated, either 

 for the beauty or the scent of their flowers. 

 The hardy perennial kinds are well fitted for 

 ornamenting the front of flower-borders or 

 rock-work, but the smaller species succeed 

 "best when grown in pots, In a mixture of loam, 

 peat, and sand. The species, natives of Ame- 

 rica, thrive best in vegetable mould or peat, 

 and are readily increased by parting the roots, 

 or by seeds. The greenhouse and stove species 

 should be grown in a mixture of loam and 

 peat; the herbaceous kinds of them are in- 

 creased by seed, or dividing the loots, and the 

 shrubby kinds by cuttings, which root readily 

 when planted under a glass. The annual spe- 

 cies may be sown in the open borders or on 

 rock-work. The Neapolitan violet, V. odordta, 

 pdllido-pUna, may be made to flower through- 

 out the winter and early spring, by placing it 

 in a stove or warm pit. V. canlna is said to 

 be a famous agent in removing cutaneous 

 diseases. Synonymes; 1, V. sororia; 2, V.
