time, even in the Dog Days, is the one for these violets, and no amount of 

 watering will produce the conditions on light soil, and where the air is naturally 

 dry and hot. Runners must be kept picked from the crowns, and then when 

 autumn arrives it will be found that well-developed crowns, plenty of roots, and 

 firm foliage have been produced, that will result in abundance of flowers as soon 

 as the plants are established in their winter quarters. Four good varieties for 

 frame culture are Marie Louise, The Czar, Comte Brazza, and De Parme, the 

 latter a useful variety for continuing the supply well into the spring.
