Violas - Cufted Pansies 
Violas are among the most beloved flowers. Their cheerful and color- 
ful blossoms are so easily grown, no matter where, be it in the city, 
suburban garden, or in the country. From Switzerland came Floraire, 
our favorite! Its dainty pale blue flowers may be picked before the 
winter's snow has melted. In hot summer weather it stands up best 
and flowers most freely; with fall and cool weather, it bursts forth 
again into masses of blooms which defy cold weather until well after 
Christmas. King Henry is really a horned Violet with a charm all 
its own. 
The Gem Violas with their apparently unlimited blooms do excep- 
tionally well. Jersey Gem is too well known to need any comment and

GEM VIOLAS 
The Gem Violas have proven to be much hardier than the well known 
Viola Cornuta or Tufted Pansies. They bloom heavily all spring, summer 
and fall until stopped by frost. The flowers are about one-half the 
size of the Cornutas. Not unlike a small Jersey Gem. The plants winter 
well and we recommend them without hesitation.

ers are not large you can always pick a little nosegay from a half dozen

blossoms are small, and this perpetual flowering Violet is a good grower,

our latest, Maggie Mott, is a lovely thing. Thousands of plants of this 
variety are used in the parks in Brussels and other Belgian and English 
cities. We know it will be popular here also. 
Use more Violas between your tulip plantings or as edgings. They 
richly repay you for all the care you give them. 
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 
incorporated at the time of digging. Plant 8 inches apart in fall or 
early spring and plant firmly. Be sure and see that no excess moisture 
will kill the plants in winter.
