Violas. 
Special descriptive list free on application. 
For bedding purposes, the Viola is cheap, hardy, accommodating, and effective. With com- 
paratively little attention it gives a glorious display of colour from Spring till Autumn. If planted 
at the proper season it is probably less affected by adverse weather than any other bedding plant. 
The ground intended for Violas should be in a rich well-worked condition. Planting should be 
completes by the middle of April, as Plants that are moved later are more susceptible to the effects 
of Summer beat and drought. To encourage a plentiful succession of bloom, it is advisable to pick 
off withering flowers, to prevent seed pods from forming, and also to shorten the longest shoots, to 
secure an abundance of lateral growths.

Violetta. 
strain of Violas and Tufted Pansies. 
The characteristic of this strain is that the flowers are without rays in the eye. In warm 
weather the beds exhale a pleasant odour (like sweet-scented violets), which, coming at a different 
season, is the more welcome. They arc of dwarf compact habit, vigorous constitution, and very 
floriferous, rem.aining in blossom from Spring till Autumn. In masses, or as edgings to beds, &c., 
they are remarkably effective.
