NEW VIOLA 
MISS CANNELL— It should be distinctly auderstoud that we grow both I’ausies, Violas, and 
Violets in as great a quantity as most growers of the above in the Xonh, and have done so for the 
past 25 years. We are equally as enthusiastic, and acquainted with their merits We have all the 
best, and grow them in large beds, so as to test their good qualities. We have, therefore, much 
pleasure in introducing this novelty into commerce as the best bedding white variety. Good in all 
ways. Is. G(/. each.
