"PANSY VIOLETS" 



New Large-F lowering Hybrids. 



(Viola cornuta grandiflora hybrida.) 



This new and improved strain produces beautiful pansy-like 

 blossoms, 2 to 2\ inches across, of great substance and of most 

 brilliant colors, including white, lemon, orange, claret, crimson, 

 maroon, lavender, purple, silver-gray, rose, black, blue, etc.; also 

 fancy varieties tinted, striped, blotched, feathered, picotee-edged, 

 etc. The plants are hardy, of vigorous growth, forming deep- 

 rooting, compact, tufted clumps. Planted in masses or lines they 

 form perfect mats covered with myriads of flowers from spring 

 until cold weather. They are more perennial in character than 

 pansies, throwing out new roots annually, adapting them to per- 

 manent beds, edgings, etc. The flowers are borne on long stems 

 which shoot up like those of the violet directly from the roots, 

 which accounts for their continuous bloom for nine months in the 

 year. Many of them are as highly scented as the sweetest violet.

"Your 'Pansy-Violets' afford us extreme satisfaction; such bearers, 

 such long stems and such a variety of colors! We also grow your 

 large Butterfly Pansies, and while they are grand, yet for 'real comfort' 

 we think we must have some of the Sweet 'Pansy-Violets.' The 

 fragrance from a bunch of them perfumes the room."

Henderson's "PICTURESQUE GARDENS 



WALL FLOWER. 



THESE old European favorites are not as much grown and appreciated in this country 

 as they deserve, due, no doubt, to the fact that they are scarcely hardy in very cold 

 locations, but in sheltered locations with protection they winter safely in Northern 

 States, though, perhaps, it is better to sow the seed annually in spring, and winter the 

 young plants over in the cold frame. They are worth the trouble, making nice busby 

 plants, 1 J feet high, bearing in the spring long spikes of most deliciously fragrant flowers of 

 various colors, crimson, purple, yellow, apricot, mahogany, pink, etc.
