(the sweet violet) has very fragrant purple flowers. It

may be taken up with a clump of earth without injury

kind of soil, from swamps to the driest hilltops, but each 
plant must have its own needs supphed. Any of them 
may be made to bloom the first season, but success in 
establishing and keeping them growing from year to 
year depends entirely upon giving each, in its new 
quarters. the conditions under which it lives when 
selecting its own location.
