Vl'OIyBTS. 
^F there is one flower more than another that can lay claim to the honour of being everybody’s 
kIx favonrite, it is the Violet ; it cheers the most saddened spirits, and gladdens the most robust. 
411 We are pleased to say the hybridisers and the most anxious and hopeful seedling raisers are at 
work, and to those who present flowers double the size of our present kinds with a perfume, 
the whole universe owe at least their thanks. Violets, like all other flowers, have their wants, and 
if these wants are not supplied at the right time they become weak and unsatisfactory. Old 
plants must be divided early in April, and replanted in good, deeply-dug, and well-manured soil, 
sixteen inches from plant to plant for large growers; the double and smaller leaf kinds, twelve 
inches, with their roots well down so as not to suffer in dry weather, and at all seasons their 
runners must be kept cnt off ; they will then produce flowers such as are seldom seen.

belle DE CHATENAT — Pure white; SWANLEY WHITE, syn. COMTE 
large and fragrant. 6rf. each ; 6s. doz. BRAZZA — A beautiful and useful white form
