large flowers, upon extra long, ‘stout stems. The flowers are of good color and deliciously fragrant. It has 
“i a much hardier nature than ‘ ; Marie Louise; both grown in the same bench, your new violet is more robust -

have no rival, I regret that I could not partake of your kind invitation to visit your place and criticise of its 
other meritorious qualities. I take it for granted however without seeing it phat it is not lacking in robust-
