^ SWEET VIOLETS 



\'iolets are great favorites and always in demand. Thej' do well in the 

 open ground and, if given a sheltered place, will usually begin to bloom before 

 the snow is gone, and continue bearing their lovely flowers for several 

 months. \'ast quantities are grown for market and find a ready sale at 

 good prices. The double varieties are not so vigorous in growth as the 

 singles. It is advisable, therefore, to plant some of each, as the single va- 

 rieties can spare enough leaves for bunching the double kinds when they 

 are being grown for market. In this way the foliage of the double kinds is 

 left to support the plant, which is a great advantage.
