SWEET VIOLETS 
Violets are great favorites and do well in the open ground. If given 
a sheltered place, they will usually begin to bloom before the snow is gone, 
and continue bearing their lovely flowers for several months. The double 
varieties are not so vigorous in growth as the singles. 
Price, 15 cts. each, postpaid, unless otherwise noted.

and are carried erect on long, strong stems. For freedom of bloom this 
new variety outclasses all others. Very fragrant.

roses, lovely azure-blue and delightfully fragrant. Straight, strong stems.
