FOUR BEAUTIFUL VIOLETS, 



Of all delightful perfumes that of Violets is the most delicate and pleasant and places the mod- 

 est little blue flowers among our greatest favorites. Violets grow and bloom during the dead of 

 Winter ^w th no Uoubte wrfatevef, if given a cool situation, but will not succeed in a warm place. 

 The following four sorts are the best of all the Violets, and are all distinct in color. 

 Itdv Hume Camnbell.-This is the finest of all double blue Violets It is simply wonderful the 

 t8d numb™ of Tlautilul flowers it produces. In color a lovely shade of the richest intense blue. 



A charming contrast with the white variety. Price, lo cents each. 

 New Violet, California.-This beautiful single-flowered Violet has created a deci- 

 ded sensation It was raised in California, where ,t is cultivated by the hun 

 dreds of acres for cut flowers. Buyers prefer it to ill others. It is entirely 

 hardy and of the richest dark blue and very fragrant. 

 Price, 16 cents each. 

 Wew Double White Perpetual Flowering Violet, Swanley 

 White, nr Queen of Fragrance.— Of all the white Vio 

 lets this is the best, either for pot culture in the house or 

 bedded out. In pots it grows luxuriantly, and is 

 loaded with flowers. It is not an uncommon sight to 

 see as many as fifty large flowers open at once, pre- 

 senting a beautiful sight, their delicious perfume till- 

 ing a whole room. Price, 10 cents each. 

 Hardy Double English Violet.— This Violet is entirely 

 hardy, perfectly double, a deep violet-purple color 

 and most deliciously fragrant. It surpasses the well- 

 known "Marie Louise" Violet in richness of color, 

 being many shades darker, and far excels it in its de- 

 licious odor. This is one of its greatest merits. It is 

 entirely free from disease of any kind, will grow and 

 bloom in any garden and in any situation. 

 Nothing is more appropriate for cemetery plots 

 than the Hardy Double English Violet, frice, 

 15 cents each. 

 SPECIAL OFFER.— The set of four lovely Vio- 

 lets for only 30 cents.

CAMELLIA JAPONICA. 



Leaves'glossy-green, flowers of exquisite beauty and waxy tex- 

 ture, from pure white to crimson, in a most endless variegation. 

 Culture is nearly related to that of the Azalea, but their success 

 is more certain. Requires shade and moisture throughout the 

 hot season. Time of blooming is Winter and early Spring. Re- 

 quires a uniform and moderate temperature with as little arti- 

 ficial heat as possible. When set with flower buds great care 

 must be taken in watering — when left too dry the buds are sure 

 to drop. I have a fine assortment of those named below.
