The H jRDy Double E^jgush Violet. 



{Spring Blooming .) 

 This Violet is entirely hardy, perfectly double, a deep 

 violet color and most deliciously fragrant. It surpasses 

 the well-known "Marie Louise" Violet in richness of color, 

 being many shades darker, and far excels it in its de- 

 lightful odor ; this is one of its greatest merits It is en- 

 tirely free from disease of anj* kind, will grow and bloom 

 in any garden and in any situation. It is entirely hardy 

 and can be left out in the open ground all winter. Noth- 

 ing is more appropriate for cemetery plots than the 

 Hardy Double English Violet. (See cut.) Price, jst size, 

 large flowering clumps. 3?c. each, $3. to per doz., $25.00 

 per 100. 2d size, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz., $16.00 per 100. 



New Violet, Lady Hume Campbell. 



A new forcing variety, under good conditions the equal 

 of Marie Louise in color and size of bloom. Its excelii?tg 

 merit is its stroma, healthly cottstiutioti. Growers who 

 were forced to abandon Marie Louise, have found this 

 variety to do well, apparently entirely free from the dis- 

 ease which distroyed the other. 20c. each, $2.00 per 

 doz., $12.00 per 100.

 bloomingplantandiscoveied all the time 

 with a wealth of pretty blue flowers. The 

 name of "African Violet ' is something 

 of a misnomer as it does not belong to the 

 Viola family ; it is related to the Gesnerias
