V. cornuta. Horned Pansy. The recently added

plants, and is about as durable as the common 
Pansy. My stocks were all sold out last autumn, 
but, as I have planned to grow in the green¬ 
house a lot of potted plants, wdiich should bloom 
by the middle of June, I offer the following at 
12 cts. each, or $1.15 per doz. Add 15 cts. per 
doz. for postage.
