VIOLETS. 



The modest Violet is always welcome, with its deli- 

 cious fragrance and pleasing color. It is one of the 

 most popular of winter flowers and extensively forced 

 for cut blooms. It is not at all difficult to bloom it suc- 

 cessfully if good plants in proper condition are procur- 

 ed in autumn. Grown in a cold-frame or in a cool 

 room and given plenty of light and air upon fair days, 

 a generous supply of these ever lovely and delightfully 

 fragrant flowers may be had during the whole winter 

 long. Or they may be planted outdoors and covered 

 well with leaves, etc., for early spring flowering. No 

 country home is complete without its bed of Violets. 



Strong Field-grown Clumps, ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 

 75c; 100, $5.00, except as noted. (Too large to mail). 



California. Remarkable for its size of flower, profuse 

 bloom and vigor of plant, which have given it a great 

 reputation and caused it to be much in demand for 

 forcing. The flowers are single and of immense size, 

 fully covering a silver dollar; color a strong violet-pur- 

 ple; of intense fragrance, and borne on extra long 

 stems. The plant is the most vigorous of its kind and 

 absolutely free from disease. 



Double Russian. A very hardy and superb variety 

 succeeding perfectly in the border without petting. The 

 flowers are magnificent, being of immense size, perfectly 

 double, of the deepest violet-blue color imaginable and 

 deliciously fragrant. It blooms early in the spring and 

 in remarkable profusion for many w^eeks, and again at 

 the approach of cool nights in the fall. It is entirely 

 free from disease of any kind, and is particularly valu- 

 able and appropriate for cemetery decoration. For 

 forcing it is one of the best, being large, fragrant and 

 profuse. 



Lady Hume Campbell. One of the most valuable and 

 useful that has yet appeared. An extra vigorous grow- 

 er, with ample, broad foliage and immense, dark, rich 

 purplish-blue double flow r ers of the most perfect form 

 and delightful fragrance. The rugged constitution of 

 this violet enables it to successfully resist all diseases, 

 and continually produce immense numbers of the most 

 perfect flowers. Altogether the most desirable variety 

 for forcing. No one need have any difficulty in suc- 

 cessfully blooming this varietj* in winter. 



Parma. The celebrated Violet from which the per- 

 fume of commerce is extracted. Flowers large, dou- 

 ble, clear pale blue, freely produced and deliciously fra- 

 grant. Excellent for forcing and open ground culture. 

 Clumps, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50. 



Swanky White. Splendid for growing in pots; a lux- 

 uriant and healthy grower, and exceedingly profuse in 

 bloom. The flowers are very large, perfectly double, 

 pure snowy white, and exquisitely fragrant. Out-of- 

 doors it is hardy with very slight protection, and in 

 early spring is fairly loaded" with its charming flowers.
