In spring there is no prettier sight than a mass or edging of Dog’s-Tooth Violets, with their 
prettily variegated foliage and gracelul Cyc’amen-like flowers, ranging in colour from deep purple 
to the purest white, 1 he large handsome American varieties indicated by f are strongly recom- 
mended ; they prefer a partially shaded and moist situation. Mr. William Robinson, referring 
to the Dog’s-Tooth Violets (E. dens-canis), in his paper at the Conference on Hardy Flowers, 
says, “This beautiful and delicate-looking plant surprises me at the free way it grows in grass 
where I have planted it. ” Mr. R. has unconsciously imitated nature. In the high Pyrenees it abounds 
in the grass.
