CARE OF VIOLETS 
Soil: Equal parts sand, garden soil and humus. Give plenty of light, but not strong 
sunlight. In watering, use water of room temperature, taking care not to wet the 
leaves. Keep moist at all times but do not allow them to stand in water. Night tem- 
perature of 65 degrees, day temperature of 70 degrees to 75 degrees. 
The two worst pests of these plants are cyclamen mite and mealy bug. Cvclamen 
mite causes leaves to curl and become thick and stunted in center of plants. This cannot 
be controlled under home conditions. Mealy bugs may be killed by touching them with 
a toothpick wrapped in cotton and dipped in alcohol or kerosene. —
