Giant Dogs Tooth Violet. 

 A beautiful large flowering variety, perfectly hardy, the foliage is charmingly vari.

 when the graceful flowers are in bloom the effect is matchless. The plants luxuriate 



in rather moist, partiaiy 

 shady positions and do 

 very nicely when grown 

 in pots in frames and 

 brought into the conser- 

 vatory or window garden 

 for winter blooming. 

 This variety bears from 

 6 to 12 yellow or cream- 

 colored flowers on stems 

 12 to 18 inches high. (See

 dozen; $3.50 per 100.
