HARDY "*83in, SWEET VIOLETS: 
(CONTINUED) 
NOT E » Weask special attention to the following Hardy Perpetual Blooming Sweet Violets, 
“which though fully described on the preceding page, we believe are not as well known 
as they ought to be. These varieties are entirely hardy in the open ground here, and if planted in any 
good ordinary soil, will bear great quantities of lovely Violets for at least six months of the year. They 
begin to bloom nearly as soon as the snow is gone, and excepting only the hottest days of Summer, you 
can pick flowers every day the whole season till winter comes again. No flowers are more highly 
valued or easier to grow than these Ever-blooming Hardy Large Flowering Violets which are the. 
sweetest and most productive of all. Just give them a chance to grow and they will do the rest.

Cc. & J. VELVET GREEN LAWN GRASS SEED 
The best brand for seeding down new lawns and renovating old ones 
OUR VELVET GREEN LAWN GRASS SEED is not excelled by any for producing a smooth, even, velvety-green 
sward that will withstand drought and hard usage, and always makes a handsome appearance. In seeding down a lawn or 
grass plot, three things are necessary to insure success: First, to prepare the ground so as to have a fine, smooth seedbed ; 
second, to put on plenty of seed; never less, but rather more than the directions call for; third, to start the lawn-mower as 
soon as the weeds (which are always in the ground and sure to start first) are tall enough to catch, and keep them mowed off 
close till the grass has time to start and become well established. The seed should be lightly raked in and finished with a 
roller. Apply any good commercial fertilizer as a top-dressing when needed. One quart of seed is enough for three hundred 
square feet (fifteen by twenty feet), or at the rate of five bushels to the acre. Lawns should be kept neatly mowed, which 
induces a clean, even growth of fresh lively green. 
Price by mail, postpaid 25 cts. per quart; two quarts for 45 cts.; in bulk, purchaser paying express charges 
$1.25 per peck; $4.00 per bushel of 20 Ibs.
