CLIBRANS, NURSERYMEN, 
Violas — continued. 
For bedding, garden decoration, and cutting purposes, the 
Viola is one of the most useful and valued plants ; perfectly 
hardy, accommodating itself to almost all classes of soil, the 
flowers covering a wide range of colours, from purest white 
to deep purple and shades of crimson, many of them pos- 
sessed of a delicious fragrance. 
Autumn planting is strongly recommended, the best time 
being from September to the middle of November. The 
plants themselves are perfectly hardy. Where from various 
reasons planting is deferred till the spring, it is advisable 
to get it completed by the middle of April, as plants that 
are moved later are more susceptible to the effects of summer 
heat and draught. 
The ground intended for Violas should be in a rich, well- 
worked condition. To encourage a plentiful succession of 
bloom pick off withering flowers, so as to prevent the seed 
pods from forming, and also to slightly shorten the longest 
shoots, and so secure an abundance of lateral growths.
