VIOLA 
Vy'-o-la 
Fr. Violette Corvue Ger. Horriveilchen 
(Tufted Pansy) 
There are few bedding plants so dependable, 
colorful and persistent in blooming over a 
long period as the tufted pansies. While the 
individual flowers are smaller than the regu¬ 
lar pansy, they are produced in such pro¬ 
fusion that the beds are a sheet of bloom 
through the entire season. Like the pansies 
they are gross feeders and thrive best in 
light but rich soil.

VIOLET 
Fr. Violette Ger. Veilchen Sp. Violeta 
(Viola Odorata) 
For this well beloved and fragrant favorite 
no introduction nor description is necessary 
—the sweet Violet is known to all. It is a 
true perennial and once the plants have 
become established they thrive for years in 
the same bed with little care, but like most 
perennials the seeds are rather slow in ger¬ 
minating, therefore do not disturb seed box 
or beds until sufficient time has elapsed. 
Sow in winter or early spring in light loam 
mixed with leaf mould. Violets succeed best 
in partial shade. 
4033 Princess of Wales. Large and with good 
stems several inches in length. Packet 25c.
