YERBE NA, Nat. Ord. Verhenacem. Splendid half-hardy perennials. u d! 
Verbenas in quantity are fnore easily obtained from seed than from cuttings ; sown in sprinq they flower 
quite early i7t the season. The self-colours are generally to be depended upon, and there is moreover the chance 
from seedli 
gs of raising new varieties.

VI'OLA (Heartsease or Pansy), Nat. Ord. Viola'cece. Hardy perennials. 
In the spring flower garden the Pansy ( Viola tricolor) blooms continnously, and produces a matchless effect in 
designs, beds, and ribbons. From seed the colours cannot be implicitly depended upon ; they should, therefore, he 
transplanted from the seed-bed and flowered before finally planting out. Seed sown in spring, flowers during the 
sufnmer; sown in summer, dowers in autumn. With a tittle attention, the Pansy is a charming plant for 
summer decoration. The varieties of Viola are very important, as they succeed in situations where the Pansy 
is a failure. Viola odorata flowers during winter and spring, and is prized for its fragrance.

These are all fine bedding Pansies. The seed 
having been carefully saved, a large 
portion of them will come true to colour ; 
they may be sown at any time, but those 
which are sown from March to May 
will be decorative in thcautumn, and the 
colours can then be arranged and the 
plants bedded out for spring decoration. 
Autumn-sown seed will flower in spring.
