MISS OANNELL -It shouUt be distinctly understood that we grow both Pansies, Violas, and

THE CALIFORNIA VIOLET. 
VIOLET, PRINCESS OF WALES— This in our opinion is the largest and lincst variety 
in cultivation. We had a quantity of plants growing and flowering all last winter and spring : its 
blossoms are more like a Viola than a .Violet. We arc accustomed to see the .colour similar to 
Victoria Regina, but this is more of a decided bright blue ; flower stalks 6 to 8 ins. long, and 
standing almost erect ; habit vigorous. We confidently recommend all growers and lovers of this 
family to obtain this variety at once. Is. 6 d. each, 15s. per dozen.

equally as vigorous in habit of growth. Is.
