 Sweet IDiolets. 



Rich in modest beauty, famous for its enchanting fragrance, and 

 truly " the sweetest flower that grows," the Violet keeps steadfastly 

 in the front rank of popularity. With the last snows of Wmter still about: 

 it, this gentle flower shyly appears from out its icy bed, heralding the coming' 

 of Spring. Sturdily it grows and sweetly 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 situation and water freely. By observing these simple instructions, one can 

 have a bountiful profusion of these dainty little flowers. New Violet California has 

 proven itself to be one of the most satisfactory varieties in existence, and we 

 recommend it highly.
