MARIE LOUISE 



CALIFORNIA VIOLETS 



RICH in modest beautv, famous for its enchanting fra- 

 grance, and truly "the sweetest flower that grows," 

 the Violet keeps steadfastlv in the front rank of 

 popularity. With the last snows of Winter still about 

 it, this gentle flower shyly appears from out its icy bed 

 heralding the coming of Spring. Sturdily it grows and sweet- 

 ly it blooms, and all the world loves it. Violets are perfectly 

 hardy, and when planted outdoors a shady situation should 

 be selected: a light covering of leaves or litter will prove 

 beneficial. For Winter blooming indoors, keep in cool situa- 

 tion and water freely. We offer only the leading kinds. Our 

 stock is in splendid condition— absolutely clean and healthy.
