INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANTING VIOLETS 
Prepare your soil, deep, at least twelve inches. 
Violets do best in slightly acid soil. It is a good 
practice to dust the soil lightly with sulphur about 
every six weeks. Mix a tablespoonful of bone meal 
with the soil in the bottom of the hole where you 
set the plant. Leaf mould or peat moss should be 
worked into the soil liberally. 
When the plants arrive, if they are fresh and 
moist, you may dip the roots in water and plant at 
once. If they seem dry or wilted immerse them, 
tops and all in a pail of water and let them soak 
three to twelve hours. Always thoroughly soak the 
ground at once after planting. It is always good 
to mulch around the plants with two or three inches 
of leaf mould or peat moss. Violets need’ rich soil. 
You may use cow manure if available, if not, use 
any good commercial fertilizer but be careful not 
to put it on the foliage, and not closer than three 
inches to the plant. 
If you live where the winter is cold and the 
ground freezes hard you should protect your violets 
in late autum with a deep mulch of leaves, light 
straw or simular material. In the spring remove 
all the mulch but about an inch or so.
