WM. BORSCH & SON, Maplewood, Oregon 

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. 
*cuneata — A native with small wedge- 
shaped leaves and dainty flowers of 
purple and white. Some shade and mois- 
ture during summer. 35c each. 
*douglasi— Another deciduous native, with 
finely cut foliage and flowers of rich 
yellow within, maroon on back. Choice 
and rare. 35c each. 
*eizanense—A very rare Japanese species, 
with cut leaves and beautiful fragrant 
white flowers. Woodland soil and a little 
shade. 35c each. 
*halli—Deciduous native with finely cut 
leaves and does better if given a little 
shade during summer months, blooming 
much longer. The upper petals are a 
rich purple, the others cream yellow. 
Probably the best of our deciduous na- 
tives. 35c each. 
*jooi—A very dwarf and compact spp. from > 
the limestones of Transylvania, being a 
cushion mound of lilac-pink flowers by 
early April, before the leaves appear. 
Usually blooms again in the fall. 3 inches. 
50c each, 
*lobata—A queer looking Viola from the 
Siskiyous with big leathery leaves, some 
of which are entire and shaped like 
those of a Tulip tree, while others lobed 
as unevenly as those of a Sassafras. 
Yellow flowers. 35c each. 
*nana—While this miniature Violet, the 
smallest known spp., with its small 
rounded leaves and tiny, pale lavender 
flowers, is very neat in appearance in the 
rock garden, we must issue a warning 
against planting it in the rockery. It is 
very invasive, both by seeding and sto- 
lons. Excellent for naturalizing or for 
rock garden if grown in pots and seed- 
lings dug up as soon as they appear. 
Full sun or light shade. 1 inch. 50c each. 
*pedata—Birds Foot Viola. Native of east- 
ern and mid-western states. Finely cut 
foliage and large pale lavender flowers 
on short stems. Requires an acid soil 
and a little shade. 35c each. 
*pedata bicolor—Upper petals violet and 
lower ones a light blue, making a very 
pretty contrast. Same culture as for 
pedata. 35c each.
