VIOLAS (Tufted ‘Panstes) 
There is a charm to the Violas quite distinct from that of their larger 
relatives the Pansies, while both families have similar uses. Whether single 
plants spotted here and there in the rockery or in solid beds for show, they 
always delight the owner. The Violas laugh at sun that would wilt a Pansy.

All of the Pansies shown in the picture below, taken at the New 
York World’s Fair, were Pitzonka’s Pansies. 
This order for 400,000 Pansy plants was placed with us for the 
World’s Fair of 1939 because Landscape Architects and Gardeners 
know that Pitzonka’s Pansies are dependable, and this planting was 
so satisfactory that we were given the order for the Pansies for the 
1940 New York Worla’s Fair.
