Choice Violas 
Winter Protection. While all of the Violas offered here are considered hardy, a winter covering will 
bring the plants through in better flowering condition. This winter covering should not be heavy, but 
should remain on the plants as late in spring as conditions will permit to prevent late spring injury. 
NEW VIOLA, PURPLE GLORY. We consider 
this the greatest improvement in Violas since the 
introduction of the original Jersey Gem. The 
color is a very fine shade of purple, better than 
Jersey Jewel. Flowers are of excellent size, 
rounded and of splendid substance, insuring good 
keeping qualities. A tidy growing plant, never 
out of bloom. An excellent variety for edging 
and good for the rock garden. 35 cts. each, 
$3.50 per doz. 
Vinca minor, Bowles Variety. Luxuriant foliage and 
flowers again in autumn 
ROSINA ( Viola odorata, Rosina). Pink Hardy 
Violet. A novelty of unusual interest to the 
hardy-plant lover, producing not only in spring 
but again in late autumn, quantities of dainty 
flowers, deliciously fragrant and of a charming 
new color—a combination of pink and old-rose 
shades. The fragrance probably is the most out¬ 
standing feature of this new Viola. It is also 
quite resistant to either sun or dry-weather con¬ 
ditions, and will prove extremely useful for 
bordering or as a ground-cover in half shade or 
full sun. Splendid also for the rock-garden. 
JERSEY GEM. The pure violet-blue flowers 
are produced very freely on 6-inch stems. It is 
perfectly at home in full sunshine, flowering 
profusely in early spring and late summer, and 
intermittently during midsummer. The finest 
Viola for American gardens. 
JERSEY JEWEL. Distinct in color, with a 
larger flower resembling the pansy in size. The 
color is a rich violet-blue with heliotrope shad¬ 
ings. 
All Violas, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100, 
unless otherwise noted 
Vinca minor, Bowles Variety 
We believe this European form is better in 
every respect than the Periwinkle now so much 
in demand. The foliage is broader, a rich glossy 
green of wonderful texture, and the plant is in¬ 
clined to branch more from the crown, making a 
dense mass of luxuriant foliage. The flower is a 
trifle larger and a shade deeper in its rich blue 
color. These flowers are borne profusely in early 
spring, also intermittently in autumn, sufficiently 
to prove attractive until frost. Visitors here at 
the nursery are quick to note its superiority over 
the older type. Field plants, 25 cts. each, $2.50 
per doz., $15 per 100.
