TORENIA 
FOURNIERI. 
Lovely little annuals, desir¬ 
able for vases, pot culture, or 
for the open ground in beds 
or masses. Often used as a 
border plant. The blossoms 
are peculiar bell-shaped flow¬ 
ers, of a velvety, porcelain 
blue, with three large spots 
of a still darker blue, and a 
golden throat. They bloom 
continuously during the sum¬ 
mer and also in the window 
in the winter. In the garden 
they generally self sow by 
May of the following spring.

VIOLET. 
No other flower has had its praises 
more often sung by the lover of nature, 
and it has ever stood an emblem of in¬ 
nocence. Easily raised from seed, though 
rather slow to germinate. When once 
established it is the first flower to greet 
one in the spring. Perennial.
