MISCELLANEOUS SPRING-FLOWERING PLANTS. 
BEDDING VIOLAS. 
The Pansies and Violas are amongst the very best of onr Spring and Summer flowering bedders. They are wonderfully free-flowering and pretty, 
and will thrive in almost any soil, but should not be planted in a hot dry position. A spot where they are shaded from strong sunshine for some part 
of the day, a north or west border, suits them admirably, and a fair supply of weak liquid manure in dry weather will keep them in splendid flower.
