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 na excess moisture will 
kill the plants in winter.
