TOTTY’S 
Viola 
VALERIANA (Garden Heliotrope) 
The variety we have to offer is Rubrum. Very lovely rich reddish 
pink heads, growing on stems 12 inches to 15 inches long. Ideal 
for cut-flowers and flowering from June till October. Plants 
attain a height of about 2 feet and if grown in a rock garden, 
which this variety frequently is, we suggest that it be cut back 
from time to time. The plants thrive with this cutting rather 
than suffer from the same. 
VERONICA (Speedwell) 
Blue Spire —A hybrid of Veronica Longifolia Subsessilis and 
Veronica Spicata which has retained the glorious dark color 
of Veronica Subsessilis. Grows about two feet tall. Bushy habit, 
and a real addition to the Summer blues, which at this partic¬ 
ular season are rather scarce. Price: SOt 4 per plant, $5.00 
per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
*Incana Nana —Very lovely blue flowers with silvery leafed con¬ 
trast attaining a height of 8 to 10 inches. 
:i: Incana Rosea —Rose colored spikes of beautiful clear pink. 
Growing about one foot high and flowering in July and August. 
Useful for rockery, hardy borders, or Perennial gardens. 
Longifolia Subsessilis —This is one of the handsomest of the 
Veronica type. It has long spikes of a beautiful deep blue and 
is frequently used as a cut-flower. It attains a height of about 
2 feet and flowers from July to September. Price: $5.00 per 
dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
* Spicata Rosea —Delicate pink flowers growing 15 inches high. 
*Teucrium —A creeping variety covered with deep blue flowers 
in June. Most attractive. 
VIOLA 
* Jersey Gem —The peerless Viola that blooms from April until 
snow. Rich, dark violet color, with long stems and a delicious 
fragrance. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in any good 
garden soil, but must have full sun for best results. 
*Jersey King —In the intensely hot weather the past Summer. 
Jersey King did not let up a single minute when every other 
Viola including Jersey Gem simply stopped. Deep blue. 
VIOLET 
The King’s Ermine —A beautiful white hardy garden Violet 
coming into flower in early April, and continuing to bloom very 
freely for many weeks. Throat a rich purple. 
* VINCA MINOR (Common Periwinkle) 
One of the best evergreen ground covers making a thick trailing 
growth in two years. Blooms quite freely in early Spring and 
occasionally through the Summer. 
*Alpina —A charming new form of the old-time ground cover. 
Vinca Alpina is a more compact type than any of the others, 
and produces a wealth of Tyrian purple flowers from early 
Spring until Fall. Its rich luxuriant foliage is very attractive 
throughout the year. 
Alba —The white flowering form of the well-known Periwinkle. 
Not grown as much as the blue variety but very attractive 
nevertheless. 
*BowIes Variety —A great improvement over any form of Vincas 
grown up to this time. The foliage is broader and of brilliant 
green. Plant is a strong grower and a very profuse bloomer. 
Flowers larger, of a deep blue shade. Price: 35^ per plant, 
$3.50 per dozen.

plants, 75^ each, $7.50 per dozen. 
YUCCA (Adam’s Needle) 
Filamentosa —Ornamental foliage and flowering plants. Makes a
