VIOLETS. 



The sweet, modest Violet has won a warm place in the affec- 

 tions of the people of California. It is particularly popular on 

 account of the ease with which it can be grown, the large size and 

 abundance of the flowers produced and the long flowering season. 



Violets delight in a partially shaded location and during the 



growing and blooming season should not lack for water. If large, 



fine flowers are desired, the plants must be given plenty of room 



and kept free from runners. All the varieties make pretty borders. 



Plants, 50c per dozen; $4 per 100. 



Among choice varieties are the following: 



Swanley White. Finest double white, very sweet; should be 

 given more sunlight than the purple varieties, as the flowers are 

 liable to a greenish tint when too much shaded. 



Marie Louise. Dark purple, very large, double and sweet, 

 profuse bloomer, and regarded by many as the finest of all double 

 violets. 



Neapolitan. Light purple, large, double and deliciously 

 sweet, profuse bloomer. 



The Czar (Russian) — Single purple, very dark and sweet; 

 vigorous grower, flowers borne on long, erect stems; preferred by 

 some to any other violet.

 ico. A beautiful climbing plant, with tuberous roots; ordinarily 

 hardy here, but when the tops are killed down by a freeze it

 racemes of rose colored flowers; one of the most beautiful climb- 

 ers we have ever seen; grows and flowers freely all through Flor- 

 ida. Strong plants 50c each.
