NEW VIOLET 
(Annii D. Kvuiin) — This is a fixed sport of "Swanley White." 
prior to 1908 but superior to it in health, size of flowers and length of 
stem. The flower is double, a lovely, pure, pale lilac with small white 
centre and no touch of red. Well grown flowers average more than one 
inch in diameter, and stems average more tluin six and one-half inches 
in length. The foliage is beautiful and not coarse and exceedingly 
healthy. "The perfume is extremely line and lasting," writes the flower 
lover who discovered this sport in Santa Clara county, California. That is 
a very modest descrii)tion. We have had a bunch of these violets r-ta.n 
their fragrance and color a week after they were picked. And we have 
lucked up a letter enclosing a few blooms of "Anna D. Evans," and 
found it as sweet as when it arrived a year before. This violet never 
passed out of the hands of the lady who discovered it until last spring 
and has never developed a white flower, in other words in over twelve 
years, it has never reverted to its parent, "Swanley White." In 1919 
it bloomed from November 30 to April. Anna D. Evans has never before 
been offered for sale. Registered with the Society of American Florists 
and Ornamental Horticulturists in April, 1915. Price of strong roots 
!j;2.50 per dozen. We are not handling this violet so must ask you to 
address all inquiries and orders to
