VIOLET (Viola Odorala): Really too

ever, some people have trouble grow¬ 
ing them so here are a few hints. In

you would have an abundance of flow¬ 
ers. Prepare the soil well by digging 
it deep and working in plenty of well 
rotted barnyard manure. Protect your

and spray them occasionally during the 
summer to keep down thrip and red 
spider.
