CLI BRANS’ LIST OF SHRUBBY VERONICAS. 
81 
New Zealand Veronicas. 
These shrubby Speed-wells, though not absolutely hardy in this country, can withstand several 
degrees of frost, and as there are many positions in gardens which are somewhat sheltered, these 
are the plants to occupy them, and give ample return in an abundance of Bowers into late autumn, 
and a constant neat appearance. Of the species, those marked with an asterisk (*) are evergreen 
and admirably adapted for the rock garden. In the South of England, in Wales, and near the 
coast generally (to the south of Scotland), these shrubs need practically no protection. Traversii 
is the hardiest of all the species, and may be planted with confidence even in a fairly exposed 
position. 
Those not priced, 4d. each, 3/- per doz. Twelve, in 12 varieties, our selection, 2/6, 15/- per 100. 
Larger plants of some kinds at 2/- and 3/- per dozen extra.

SPECIAL DESCRIPTIVE LIST FREE ON APPLICATION. 
For bedding purposes, the Viola is cheap, hardy, accommodating and effective. With 
comparatively 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 completed by the middle of April, as plants that are moved later are more susceptible 
to the effects of summer heat 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.
