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.
