from seedlings of raising new varieties.

VTOLA (Heartsease or Pansy), Nat. Ord. Viola 1 cece. Hardy perennials. 
In the spring fower garden the Pansy ( Viola tricolor) blooms continuously , and produces a matchless effect in 
designs, beds, and ribbons. From seed the colours cannot be implicitly depended upon ; they should , therefore , be 
transplanted from the seed-bed and flowered before finally planting out. Seed sown in spring, flowers during the 
summer ; sown m summer, flowers in autumn. With a little attention, the Pansy can be made a charming 
plant for summe? decoration. The varieties of Viola are very important, succeeding in situations where the 
Pfflsy * s a failure. Viola odorata varieties flower in winter, and are prized for their fragrance. For plants of 
Viola ordorata , see p. 12 , and for Pansies, see Bulb Catalogue, p. 38 .
