STUMPP & WALTER CO., NEW YORK CITY 
VIOLA. (Tufted Pansies) 
Violas bloom so freely that they are superior to pansies where 
effect is wanted, the colors being particularly clear and distinct, and 
they bloom for a longer time. Their cultivation is becoming more 
popular year by year. 
Cornuta, Blue Gem (Jersey Gem). The flowers are a very pleasing 
shade of deep violet-blue, with an occasional very slight variation 
in tint, and may be relied on to come about 70 per cent true from 
seed. A great feature of this fine new variety is its wonderful 
power of resisting drought, the plants continuing to throw up flowers 
long after other varieties are withered up. Height 4 inches. Pkt. 
25 cts., ^oz. $2.75, >ioz. $5, J<oz. $9. 
Cornuta, Apricot Gem. An unusually fine shade, blending into a 
deep orange center. It is of recent introduction and proved merit, 
and should become as popular as Jersey Gem, with w'hich it should 
be growm, thus producing in our opinion, an effect impossible to 
surpass with any other combination of Violas. Pkt. 25 cts., i^oz.
