Veronica Longifolia Subsessilis 
VERONICA—Continued 
longifolia subsessilis—The true plant and 
not a form of V. spicata which is often¬ 
times sent under this name. Pretty foli¬ 
age and 18 to 24 inch spikes of beautiful 
blue flowers from July to Sept. One of 
the finest blue flowers in the garden. 
40c each. 
♦satureoides—Resembles V.saxatilis some¬ 
what in habit, but with more leathery, 
darker foliage and more-crowded heads 
of large blue flowers on 2 to 3 inch stems. 
Makes nice mats and domes. April, May 
and again in fall. 25c each.

pets of olive-green foliage, smothered 
with dainty spikes of rich blue flowers, 
May and June. Shear back as soon as

VERONICA Blue Spire—A hybrid of longifl. 
subsessilis and spicata which has re¬ 
tained the glorious dark color of V. 
subsessilis. Bushy habit, about 2 ft. 
high. 35c each. 
VIOLA—The Viola is not as well known in 
America as it should be. Very few other 
plants have as long a flowering period. 
They succeed best in a deep, well-en¬ 
riched, well-drained soil, but with plenty 
of water during the hot summer. They 
seem to prefer a light shade during the 
hottest part of mid-summer days. Do not 
allow to go to seed, and in Sept, cut 
back all straggling growth, to allow 
plants to make new tufts. This applies 
to the cornuta type in particular. The 
following are varieties and forms of 
Viola cornuta and bedding Violas. The 
specie Violas, both native and foreign, 
are listed separately. 
Climax—The finest lavender Viola we 
have seen. Medium size flowers, shaped 
something like V. Jersey Gem, on long 
stems, in profusion throughout the sum¬ 
mer. We are justly proud of this intro¬ 
duction. 35c each. 
Dark Beauty—Resembles V. Jersey Gem in 
form and color, but has longer stems and 
blooms much later. Commences during 
June. Very floriferous and a wonderful 
florist Viola. 25c each. 
Jersey Gem—Best all-around Viola yet in¬ 
troduced. Large flowers of a pure violet, 
slightly perfumed, on 6 to 10 inch stems, 
from early spring to late fall. 25c each. 
Maggie Mott — The well-known English 
hybrid bedding Viola, propagated from 
imported stock. Large flowers of a soft 
heliotrope-blue, deliciously fragrant. 35c 
each. 
Moseleys Perfection—Another English var¬ 
iety, with large clear yellow flowers. 
Good companion to Maggie Mott. 35c ea.

to Portland Gem. 35c each.

ing violet. One of the largest-flowered

form of the popular Jerseys. 25c each. 
White Wermlg—Medium size, long-faced 
white flowers on long stems. 25c each. 
VIOLA. Species, both native and foreign— 
The majority of these prefer, almost re¬ 
quire, a sunny position, in a sandy or 
stony, well-drained soil, which should 
have some leaf-mold or peat in it. Unless 
otherwise noted they will-require above 
mentioned conditions. 
♦beckwithi—A deciduous type of rare beau¬ 
ty. The leaves are three parted, the two 
upper petals purple, and the others of 
pale violet. 35c each.
