In spring on no prettier sight can the eye rest than a mass or edging of the beautifully 
variegated foliage of the Dog' s-tooth Violets. Few of the prized Ancectochilus of India can equal 
these in the variegation of their leaves, and when the graceful Cyclamen-like flowers appear, ranging 
in colour from the die pest purple to the purest white , the effect becomes matchless. Amerlcanum is 
remarkable for its rich ycllowblcssoms, and Giganteum for its large handsome flown s ; all quite hardy.
