TRUE PARMA VIOLET. Vanabbe plant's 4 cada of CHUL: cad cae ee 
botanists for many years has remained obscure, not for want of 
merit, as it has all the elements of popularity. It is easy to 
grow, is hardy as far north as Boston, and blooms abundantly. 
Its color is beautiful, an exquisite shade of azure blue, and 
flowers luxuriantly in a pot or in the open ground; its blooming 
period is in the fall, from September until heavy frosts, when 
flowers are scarce and hardly anything is to be had in its color. 
It grows about two feet high, and bears fragrant feathered 
clusters of flowers along the stem, so that it is preéminently 
adapted for cut flowers, the blooms remaining fresh days 
after they are cut. It belongs to the same natural order 
/ The plant shown above (reduced to one-third natural size) is 
the True Parma Violet, and was engraved from a photograph of 
a plant growing in our greenhouses. It was exactly 12 inches 
across, and covered with flowers as large as a fifty-cent piece. 
The color is very deep, and the odor is very powerful; the health 
of the plants is perfect; imported stock that had never been 
forced. We had often been asked for this variety, and after 
repeated efforts we have succeeded in importing it successfully. 
We feel great satisfaction in being able iS offer it, and {eel conte 
dent it will give great satisfaction. Price, large plants, 60c. each, astihoavarbonacand thovfolia 5
