VIOLAS 
VIOLAS. One of the loveliest perennials. Easily grown, requiring little care, 
unregardful of frequent moving, blooming joyously and exuberantly from six to 
eight months of the year, these are among the loveliest flowers that can be grown 
in your gardens. 
f 
Violas are perfectly adapted for ground covers around lilies or any other tall 
perennial that has little foliage near the ground. 
They are lovely in beds by themselves, in masses of one color; and in the 
hardy border, in front of the taller growing plants. They make a mass of one 
color that is a joy and a relief that one can have an ever-blooming flower that is 
so little trouble. 
They make the most beautiful edgings along paths and around beds. During 
the season, I can look out of my window and see the wide ribbon of violet purple 
that my Jersey Jewel makes around my beds of Japanese Iris. Not the least of 
my joy is that it will be there until the heavy frost of fall. I have only to water 
them occasionally, pick them now and then, and enjoy them. 
For rock gardens they are unexcelled. They are in bloom so long and make a 
wonderful mass of color when there is little else in bloom. They like sun and 
rather heavy soil, and a reasonable amount of water. 
MAGGIE MOTT. Flowers over two 
inches across, of a most lovely laven¬ 
der shade that is very uncommon. 
Beautiful cut flower. Each 35c, $3.00 
per dozen. 
JERSEY JEWEL. Compact in growth, 
vigorous in constitution, generous in 
bloom, a rich violet purple in color, 
with a velvet sheen upon the petals, 
it is one of the most gorgeous and 
lovely of violas. Flowers around two 
inches, on stems four to seven inches. 
Each 25c, $2.00 per dozen. 
JERSEY GEM. A most satisfactory 
viola. Large flowers of a pure violet, 
slightly perfumed, on long stems, 
from early spring to late fall. Lovely 
cut flower. Each 25c, $2.00 per doz. 
WHEELER CROFT No. 1. Thi s is one 
of my originations. It is larger and 
bluer than the Jersey Jewel; blooms 
first of all my violas in the spring and 
blooms later in the fall. It is of com¬ 
pact growth, very sturdy, and very 
hardy. Each 50c, $5.00 per dozen. 
WHEELER CROFT No. 3. This is a 
seedling that came from a cross that 
I made between a white viola and the 
Jersey Gem. It is a lovely grey blue, 
larger than the Jersey Gem but not so 
long stemmed. Its growth is just the 
same, compact and every shoot root¬ 
ed. It will grow very well in full sun 
but the color holds better in light 
shade. It blooms early, consistently, 
and late. So far, it has seeded so little 
that I have not been able to test them. 
All plants from cuttings and root 
divisions. Each 50c, $5.00 per dozen. 
Stock of both originations limited.
