even richer and more velvety. Each vigor-

With garden lovers going wild over the smaller-sized Violas like Jersey 
Gem, think of the terrific welcome due this new super-size, colorful 
Viola from J. & P. 
You'll want a number of these hardy Colossal Viola Purple Heart 
plants to put sparkle into favored garden spots such as mixed beds, at the 
foot of evergreens, edges of rose beds, etc. They are easy to grow. Not 
particular where you put them, although they do best in moist, loamy soil. 
Like afternoon sun, but do not demand it. They will live for years. So 
much loveliness for so little care! 
When the first flowers bloomed in the Jackson & Perkins nurseries, 
their rich color and mammoth size—even their shape—made everyone 
think of ‘‘The Purple Heart,’’ the medal awarded to so many of America’s 
gallant fighting men. And so it was christened! 
* You'll value these huge Violas all the more because they seem like 
magnified, friendly faces of other admired members of the same family— 
the Violet, Johnny Jump-up, and the smaller varieties of Viola. What a 
privilege to enjoy this recurring beauty in its most glamorous form! 
Be one of the first to know the satisfaction of growing these mammoth 
new Violas. Plant them liberally this spring, as soon as the ground is 
ready. Order early, so as to have them in time.
