plants bloom well, too.. Later on the collector 
might wish to specialize in the Girl varieties, 
which are to be had in orchid (red), pink, and 
perhaps before too long, white. The graceful scal- 
loping ranges from the deeply cut Old Lace to 
the shallow crimping of Blue out ‘Amazon.

“foliage” plant, but whether to choose Van Deit-

which have leaves of the same shape, though 
color of foliage and blossom is quite different. The 
collector might prefer to try his luck with an 
Amazon or a DuPont.. I have not suggested heavier 
strains because of their slow growth and com- 
parative reluctance to bloom. Many seasoned vio- 
let lovers will sizzle with indignation at this slight, 
however, and in all fairness, it should be added 
that the DuPont and Amazon blooms, when they do 
come, are well worth waiting for. Stay on longer,
