VIOLET FACTS 
‘DOUBLE VIOLETS” do not have to 
be cut back to rest and dry out but 
should be kept damp in summer. They 
must be protected in cold places. They 
will stand light freeze, but NOT hard 
long spells. Also they can have the 
water from cow, sheep, or commercial 
fertilizer poured around their roots 
but not on their foliage.

VIOLETS ARE HARDY. All varieties 
listed grow with proper care in any 
climate. In extreme cold they must be 
covered. Use cold frame or straw 
mulch. In extreme heat they must be 
shaded and watered. 
Our violets are all field grown; have 
strong green foliage; good root system. 
Remember that violets respond to 
loving care and gracious unselfish 
giving. 
No other plant in the garden res- 
ponds more willingly, giving so much 
pleasurable perfume, such a long 
blooming season, for so many suc- 
cessive years. 
If your Violets do not bloom, per- 
haps you have planted them in too 
much shade or in alkaline soil. Try 
one teaspoon fish meal to two gallons 
of water poured around but NOT on 
the plants.

If you have no compost heap, use a 
good commercial fertilizer such as: 
6-9-6 or Gaviota. For sow bugs and 
pill bugs Destrol is best, KEEP OUT 
ANTS!
