Viola Cornuta Purpurea 



Viola Cornuta 



Purpurea, or 



G. Wermig 



A variety of the tufted 

 Pansy, forming clumps that 

 are a sheet of bloom the 

 entire season, and a most 

 attractive subject for the 

 border; the flowers, which 

 in general appearance 

 closely resemble the Prin- 

 cess of Wales Violet, make 

 it a splendid substitute for 

 the latter during the sum- 

 mer months when these are 

 not to be had. (See cut.) 

 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.
