Viola Rosin a 
Perpetual-Flowering Viola Floraire 
VIOLA 
Popular garden flowers originally obtained by crossing Viola cornuta 
(the Horned Viola) with the ordinary Pansy. They differ from the 
ordinary Pansy by being more compact in habit and more continuous 
and free in flowering. 
Culture. To grow Violas well, good soil is a great advantage, although 
fine results may be obtained from plants planted in any soil that has 
been well dug, and a heavy dressing of partially rotted manure in¬ 
corporated at the time of digging. Plant 8 inches apart in fall or early 
spring and plant firmly. Be sure and see that no excess moisture will 
kill the plants in winter.

_Montbretias 
Montbretias are of easy culture. They flower freely and require perhaps 
less care than most bulbs. They do particularly well in the border in light 
shade or full sun. A clump of a half dozen or more bulbs will continue 
flowering throughout the late summer and autumn. Rich soil helps to grow 
tall spikes. A liberal amount of well-rotted manure or bone meal applied 
at planting time is very beneficial. Water freely in dry weather. The bulbs 
may be left in the ground over winter if you will give them reasonable pro- 
tction with strawy manure or garden litter. South of Philadelphia no pro¬ 
tection required. 
It has been common practice to send dry or dormant bulbs for planting. 
We find, however, that valuable growing time is lost, resulting in too few 
blooms. Therefore beginning this season unless we are instructed otherwise 
we send you growing bulbs in pots without additional charge. These grow¬ 
ing bulbs establish at once and give you several more weeks of bloom. Fail¬ 
ure is absolutely prevented. We are sure you will like this method of buy¬ 
ing and planting this lovely late summer flower.
