 from you last year. Grew well in spite of the 

 drought. — Mrs. W. S. Usher, Cherokee, Iowa. 



VIOLA CORNUTA (Tufted Pansies) 



Violas are not yet fully appreciated, however it is a charming flower for the hardy border, 

 combining beauty and fragrance, with a remarkably free-blooming habit, especially adapted 

 to shady places. The flowers are not so large or high colored as the other varieties of 

 Pansies. Used in masses or as border plants they are fine for edging walks or beds. Seed 

 sown in March will produce flowering plants in June which will bloom from then to frost. 

 If sown in August or September and protected these plants will bloom early in Spring. 6 

 inches. Hardy perennial. Fine Mixed, per pks. 10 cts.
