THE CALIFORNIA. This grand New Violet is probably being grown more large- ot 

 ly at the present time than any other variety. The plant is of vigorous habit and abso- 5* 

 lutely free from disease. The tlowers are single and of immense size, covering a silver half- | 

 dollar. The color is a rich violet purple and does not fade; while the fi'agrance is simply l> 

 unequalled. The plant is of the most robust habit, producing its flowers profusely on long B 

 strong stems about 10 inches long, as many as 250 perfect tlowers having been picked from S 

 a single plant. Lovers of V iolets should have the California. 15 cents each; 2 for 2=3 cents. § 



LADY HUME CAiVlPBELL. An improvement on that old favorite, Marie Louise. The & 

 leaves are large, clean and bright, and the fine stemmed tlowers are soft, pure, azure blue, o 

 — the favorite color In violets. They are delicately pretty in form, perfectly double, and f> 

 deliciously fragrant. The most fastidious lover of violets will be charmed with these f 

 superbly dainty blossoms, and may pick them in quantities from the open garden in the g* 

 fall, and all winter from potted plants or from cold frames. 15 cents each; 2 for 25 cents. ^

 fragrant. It is a free bloomer, its large double white flowers above its glossy green foliage, » 

 pi'oducing a wonderful effect. 15 cents each; 2 for 25 cents. g>
