EEPOET ON VIOLAS AT CHISWICK, 1898. 
A collection of 174 varieties of Violas were grown on a west 
and north border: six plants of each were planted out on 
March 24, and although the terribly hot and dry season was 
against Violas, the plants made satisfactory growth and yielded 
a large quantity of flowers ; but they were on the whole smaller 
and faded earlier than usual.
