 Sing^le Violets. 



The large-flowering Single Vio- 

 lets, of which the variety known 

 as California was the forerunner, 

 has been brought to a high point 

 of perfection in the varieties of- 

 fered below, and has placed them in equal favor w ith the double sorts, 

 and as their culture is much simpler, we strongly recommend the 

 amateurs to confine themselves entirely to this class, unless the facilities 

 are at hand to give the double varieties the special treatment which 

 they require.
