and the Asiatic countries for the outstanding Scottish flower introduction of the 
year, Violettas "The Little Dwarfs." This is an entirely new type of miniature

yellow, campanula blue, sulphur yellow splashed with hyacinth blue, purplish

shot with petunia purple, creamy white, and many others, each with a distinct
