Candied Violet Blossoms 
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, Walentines, Mothers Day, Decora- 
tion Day, May Day, birthday and many other 
days. 
1 wish I had time to personally answer all 
the Violet Lovers wonderful letters. I ap- 
preciate 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 ques- 
tion bothering you. 
PIKE 
Violets like acid soil, and if your soil is poor 
you.can give them some of the commercial 
fertilizers — 6-9-6 or Gaviota are good. For 
sow bugs and pill bugs I find Destro! is best. 
Be sure to keep ants out. 
a ee 
“DOUBLE VIOLETS” do not have to be 
cut back and do not have to rest and dry out, 
but kept damp in summer. They must be pro- 
tected in cold places, they will stand light freeze 
but not hard and long spells. Also they can 
have fertilizer water, cow, sheep or commercial 
but not on foliage. 
DPDHECE 
We are not pleased to raise prices on some 
varieties, but as you know, paper, printing, all 
materials, labor, etc., make it necessary. 
IKKE 
The Royal Elk and the Royal Robe are crea- 
tions of the Pawla Gardens. They are similar. 
The Elk has more resistance, stronger stems 
and are more compact. The Victory is also a 
new creation. 
DIK 
Each variety of violets have their printed 
name wrapped .with them. 
We do not substitute. 
THESE VIOLETS COME FROM 
HAPPY GARDENS 
Where clear waters flow and birds sing, 
well, it’s just a little bit of Paradise along the 
river between Soquel and Capitola, four acres 
of fairyland with wooded trails, seats, arches, 
arbors, terrace gardens and Violets. Violets 
everywhere—ten thousand and more. 
GARDEN SULPHUR sprinkled around or 
spaded inactivates and neutralizes the soil, 
counteracts alkaline, does much to check fun- 
gus and disease. Also brings bright, rich 
color to your violets. Wood ashes may also 
be used for that purpose.

‘To make ideal shade for Violets use a wire 
fence as long as desired. Plant sweet peas, 
smylax.or any vines. Then plant a row of 
violets along either side, also along dahlias, 
bushes or where they get a little shade. 
The double violets must be protected in 
winter and watered in summer. 
With a number of varieties you can have 
violets blooming all year.

Packing Information 
20c on a dollar for Packing and Mailing 
sounds like a lot, but packers have to be ex- 
perts (now $1.00 per hour), besides oil paper, 
moss, tags, labels, boxes, digging, washing, 
mail, etc. 
We always give you extra if we can. 
Also the Violets are large. We hate to cut 
them back because we like you to see how 
big they are. 
Life is successful only when it is a bless- 
ing to others,
