VIOLA • Tufted Pansies 
Violas are more compact in habit and more free flowering than 
pansies. If the old flowers are regularly removed, and some of 
the long stems cut back, they will bloom continuously throughout 
spring and summer, and into the late fall. They are adapted for 
massing in beds, or the margins of borders and the rock-garden. 
Violas require the same treatment as pansies, liking a rich soil, 
preferably one that has been well dug and top dressed with well- 
rotted manure. They demand plenty of water during the hot, 
dry summer months, but must be well drained in the winter as 
excess moisture is apt to kill the plant.
