Maiiiiiioth-floweriii§^ 

 Single Violets. 



The l.irge-flowering Single Violets, 

 «f which the variety known as Cali- 

 fornia was the forerunner, has been 

 brought to a high point of perfection 

 in the varieties offered below, and 

 has placed them in equal favor with 

 the double sorts, and as their culture 

 is much simpler, we strongly recom- 

 mend the amateurs to confine them- 

 selves entirely to this class, unless the 

 facilities are at hand to give the 

 double varieties the special treatment<which they require. 

 Admiral Avellan. A French variety with entirely distinct, 



bright reddish flowers; of large size ; very fragrant.
