J F there is one flower more than another that can lay claim to the honour of being everybody’s 
favourite, it is the Violet; it cheers the mo.st Muldencd .spirits, and gladilens the most robust. 
We are [tleased to say the hybridisers and the most anxious and hopeful seedling raisers are at 
work, and to those who present ifiowers double the size of our iiresent kinils, with a perfume, 
the whole universe owe at least their 
thanks. All will adtnit value and good 
work which has been done. We thank all 
those who are engaged improving our pre- 
sent productions, for when once those 
improvements are achieved, it is a benefit 
for ever, more or less, nil over the world. 
Violet.s, like all other flowers, have their 
wants, and if these wants are not su]>- 
plied at the right time, they become weak 
and unsatisfactory. Old jilants must bo 
divided early in April, and replanted in 
good, dee])ly-dug, and well-manured soil, 
sixteen inches from plant to ])lant for 
largo growers; the douide and smaller 
leaf kinds, twelve inches, with their 
roots well down so ns not to suffer in dry 
weather, and at :ill sen-sons their runners 
must be kept cut off; thev will then 
iwodiice flowers such as are seldom see '.

and imported this variety direct from 
Count Brazza, Udine, Italy, and have

to its parent, Murie /^onise^ ha^■ing the same 
growth, freedom of flowering, ami the .same 
|)erfume;the individual flowers are equally 
as large and of purest white.
