Violets 
Our nurseries at Menlo Park are famous the world over for their beautiful beds of violets acres of 
which can be seen growing in the shade of the majestic oaks that abound there. We have for Vears de 
voted much attention to their culture Violets may be planted during the months of December, January 
Bad February. Have the ground well prepared, and fertilized with decayed manure; after planting if rain 
should not ensue give them a watering and, when the plants are well established, mulch the Ws with 
old, well pulverized manure. Violets prefer the shady nooks of the garden. Enough cannot be said in 
praise of this modest little flower, coming to uh, as it does, in the gloomy period of the year when we 
fiave few other flowers to cheer us. They perfume the air with their sweet^fr^i^ce at a dme when M 
other nature seems asleep. n"cu an
