In spring there is no prettier sight than a mass or edging of Dog’s-Tooth Violets, with their 
beautiful variegated foliage and graceful Cyclamen-like flowers, ranging in colour from deep purple 
to the purest white. The large handsome American varieties of Grandiflorum are strongly recom- 
mended ; they prefer a partially shaded and moist situation. Mr. William Robinson, referring to 
the Dog’s-Tootli 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” Me. R. has unconsciously imitated nature. In the high Pyrenees it abounds in the grass.
