VIOLETS 
SWEET VIOLETS 
Violets are great favorites and always in demand. They do well in open 
ground and if given a sheltered place will usually begin to bloom before 
the snow is gone, and continue bearing their lovely flowers for several 
months. Vast (|uantities are grown for market, and find a ready sale at 
good prices. The double varieties are not so vigorous in growth as the 
singles. It is advisable, therefore, to plant some of each, as the single va¬ 
rieties can spare enough leaves for bunching the double kinds when they 
are being grown for market. In this way the foliage of the double kinds is 
left to support the plant, which is a great advantage. 
rile demand for \'iolets is steadily increasing in this country, and we offer 
here the best yet introduced.
