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 /lowers, ranging in colour from deep purple 
to the purest white. The large handsome American varieties of Grandlflorum are strongly re- 
commended; they prefer a partially shaded and moist situation. Mr. William Robinson, referring 
to the Dog’s-Tooth Violet, 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 1 have planted it." 
Mr. R. has unconsciously imitated nature. In the high Pyrenees it abounds in the grass.
