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 years de- 
voted much attention, to their culture. Violets may be planted during the months of December, January 
and February. Have the ground well prepared, and fertilized with decaved manure; after planting, if 
rain should not ensue, give them a watering and, when the plants are well established, mulch the beds 
with old, well-pulvenzed manure. Violets prefer the shady nooks of the garden. Enough cannot be 
said in praise of this modest little flower, coming to us, as it does, in the gloomy period of the year, when 
we have few other flowers to cheer us. They perfume the air with their sweet fragrance at a time when 
|all other nature seems asleep.
