ABOUT FLORAL DISPLAYS IN YOUR GARDEN 
Mr. J. J. Graham, Assistant Superintendent of Manchester Parks, England, in 
“Gardening Illustrated,” says among other things: 
MASS EFFECT 
“I believe in mass effects, ir a blaze of color that irresistibly attracts and 
draws. 
“T would like to see a more free use made of Canterbury Bells. 
“Have you ever tried well grown pink cup and saucer Canterbury Bells over a 
ground work of Catmint? If you can spare a large bed for this you will obtain 
an effect that is charming in every way. I believe in large beds for almost any- 
thing; in fact, large beds are essential if a brilliant display is aimed at. 
“There is nothing to beat the Viola as a carpeting plant for Roses. Violas in- 
tensify the colors of the Roses, and all things considered, add greatly to the gen- 
eral effect. I know of no finer floral display than a bed of Caroline Testout Roses 
carpeted with blue or purple Violas. 
“A border of 15 varieties of Eschscholtzia (California Poppies) was much ad- 
mired last year, particularly one bright Sunday when the whole border was a 
dazzling mass of open flowers; the foliage continued fresh and green long after 
the flowers faded.” 
VIOLAS or TUFTED PANSIES 
ARKWRIGHT RUBY. Novelty. One of the most distinct of all the bedding Pansies 
or Violas. The flowers are borne in great profusion. Delightful rich ruby-red 
flowers. Seeds will always be scarce as the plants are very shy seeders. Per 
pkt. 25c; 3 for 70c; 1/16 oz. $1.25. 
CHANTREYLAND. Masses of beautiful flowers in rich apricot shade, tinted orange 
toward the center. A better Sutton’s Apricot. Per pkt. 20cé 1/16 oz. $1.00. 
KING HENRY (Purple King). Flowers 1 inch in diameter cover bushy plants 6 
inches tall, during a long season. A deep purple violet with lighter center and 
yellow eye, an effective contrast. Violas have a much longer flowering season than 
Pansies, and will flower all summer if the faded blossoms are picked off. Pkt. 15c. 
CHINESE BLUE. A round faced type such as Jersey Gem and Chantreyland. Color 
a so-called French blue, nearest substitute to the famcus “Maggie Mott”. (By 
the way, the latter does not bear seeds.) Pkt. 25c 1/16 oz. $1.25. 
SPLENDID LARGE FLOWERED MIXTURE. Ruby, bronze blue, golden yellow and 
many unusual shades. Special formula blend of only large flowered Violas. 
Per pkt. 20c; 1/16 oz. 75c.
