AND PANSIES WITH HABIT OF THE VIOLA. 
Of ANY of these continue in bloom (even beneath the snow) all the winter ; and at the first 
few days of sunshine they are a brilliant mass, and if planted in bands of colours like other 
ordinary bedding plants, in well-manured, deeply-dug soil, they give a glare of colour from 
Hebruary to July. But how strange that, with the exception of a few that know bettor, the million 
will buy bulbs for bedding! — whereas Violas are only a quarter the price, more certain, continue 
ten times longer in flower, and produce thirty times the quantitv of bloom or colour, and are 
altogether better. We grow acres ; in the spring they are a grand sight.
