Violas 
Violas are among the most beloved flowers. Their cheerful and colorful blossoms are so 
easily grown, no matter where, be it in the city, suburban garden, or in the country. From 
Switzerland came Floraire, our favorite! Its dainty pale blue flowers may be picked before 
the winter's snow has melted. In hot summer weather it stands up better and flowers most 
freely; with fall and cool weather, it bursts forth again into masses of blooms which defy 
cold weather until well after Christmas. 
Culture. To grow Violas well, good soil is a great advantage, although fine results are 
obtained from plants planted in any soil that has been well dug, and a heavy dressing of 
partially rotted manure incorporated at time of digging. Plant 8 inches apart in fall or early 
spring and plant firmly.
