TELEGRAM FROM 
VIOLET 
Lovely and Sweet 
Violets, you can’t beat 
Nine months a year 
Violets are here 
Violet, purple, pink 
Blue and white 
Glorious beds of delight, 
So generous of perfume— 
Yes, they multiply soon; 
Water, sun, earth, and air 
Leaf mold—little care 
Hundreds of blossoms bear. 
Snowy mountain top 
Shaded valley deep 
Banquet, Crown, or Ball 
Violet honors all 
Mystic, legend, poet 
Use Violet, you know it! 
Lovers, births and wedding 
Violets always heading 
Violet leaves for salad and tea 
Purify the blood of you and me 
Violet candied blossoms 
Are real delight 
Make ice cream and cake 
Look just right 
It’s God’s great gift 
From His treasure chest 
The best I can say 
Start a bed of Violets today 
Ask little and give much 
The New Giant 
Royal Elk Violet 
The Violet Supreme

Boil one cup of sugar and one-half 
cup of water until two threads float 
from spoon. Have one cup of double 
violets clean and dry, dip in the syrup 
and lay on oil paper to dry. Put a few 
drops of violet coloring in the syrup 
and use on ice cream, cakes, or in 
candy. | 
Violets are an everlasting gift. Give 
Violets for Easter, Valentines, Moth- 
ers day, Decoration day, May day, 
birth day and many other days. 
I wish I had time to personally — 
~ answer all the Violet Lovers wonder- 
ful letters, I appreciate them. They 
are jewels that brighten the way and 
inspire me to do more than my best, 
and I live in the “Now-of-Happiness” 
each day. 
Please read the catalog twice, before 
writing. I think you will find the 
answer to any question bothering you.
