Tufted Pansies 
The improved form of Viola Cornuta 
are rapidly growing in favor. They flow- 
et" continuously for nearly eight months 
in the year; and while their flowers are 
not so large as those of the Pansy, their 
bright colors and floriferousness make 
them welcome additions to any garden.

with flowers almost as large as the an¬ 
nual Pansy, but flowering continuously

APRICOT QUEEN. A fascinating shade 
of apricot that compels the immediate 
attention and admiration of all who see 
it. The plant has a neat, compact habit 
of growth and blooms freely from Spring 
to October. The requirements for success 
in growing this charming Viola are to 
locate the plants in full sun and to shear 
them close to the ground twice during 
the season.

blooms from April until snow, rich, 
dark violet color, with long stems and

hardy and will grow in any good garden 
soil, but must have full sun for best re¬ 
sults. It is one of the best introductions 
in the list of hardy plants in recent 
years. Our propagations are from the 
original stock planted from divisions.

VIOLA ROYAL GEM 
A big improvement on, Jersey 
Gem, exceptionally large dark 
violet flowers. Plants grow to 
neat compact clumps, producing 
stems fully 8-10 inches in length. 
They are wonderful in arrange¬ 
ments with yellow flowers, espe¬ 
cially small yellow Roses. The 
colors harmonize beautifully, cre¬ 
ating a strong desire for the pur¬ 
chase of flowers. When properly 
arranged as mentioned above, it 
is one of the fastest selling items 
in flowers. 
In addition to the plant being 
good for out-of-doors growing, 
these Violas can be forced on 
greenhouse benches and through¬ 
out the entire winter they will 
continue to produce these mag¬ 
nificent long stemmed Violas. 
We will have for spring sales a 
good supply in 2 inch pots. Wf 
are pricing them. Per 10 $1.50,

NURSERYMEN PLEASE 
NOTE 
It is time to check over your 
plants available and have your 
list as near complete as possi¬ 
ble. We find that a large per¬ 
centage of the Nurserymen do 
not grow perennials. For this 
specialty they look to the Pe¬ 
rennial Nurseries for their re¬ 
quirements. We ask that you 
kindly check this book over 
carefully. We are sure you will 
find we are listing all the worth¬ 
while Perennials, and if there is 
anything in this line that you 
will need, we ask for an oppor¬ 
tunity to prove to you the qual¬ 
ity of the plants we produce.
