Remantic Sweet Vielels . . 
VIOLA odorata—Familiar, lovely flowers with a universal senti- 
mental appeal that never wanes. These cheerful plants are easily 
grown in ordinary soil but grow and perform best in a rich, well-dug, 
loamy soil that is moist and lightly shaded all day. The addition of 
well-rotted manure to the soil and periodic replanting is desirable. 
Sweet Violets make a solid carpet and have long been used as ground 
covers. The fragrant, single or double blooms are produced abun- 
dantly in late winter and early spring. They are treasured for minia- 
ture, old-fashioned bouquets and nosegays. Set the plants 8 inches 
apart in groups; mulch lightly in zero climates.

se Impish Bedding Violas 
VIOLA cornuta—Few plants bloom longer or more freely than the 
happy little Bedding Violas. Plant them in your rock garden or at 
the edge of your perennial border and they will charm you for 
months with their hundreds of bright, cheerful faces. Cut the 
abundant blooms for gay floral arrangements as often as you like 
because more will take their places immediately. We suggest a light 
or loamy soil that has been thoroughly worked and mixed with 
humus, preferably old manure or rich compost. Bedding Violas 
thrive in light shade in warm climates but will flourish in the open 
in cool sections. Give them plenty of water in summer and do not 
allow the plants to set seed. Trim back the clumps in late summer 
and mulch the plants lightly in severe northern climates. For the 
finest displays plant in groups, spacing the plants 6 to 8 inches. 
Divide and reset in fresh soil as needed. 
* Maggie Mott Each 60c, three $1.50, six $2.75 
Greatly valued for its well-proportioned, light heliotrope blue flow- 
ers with their creamy suffused centers and yellow eyes. The cheery 
blooms come almost endlessly from spring through fall. 
*Pride of Victoria Each 55c, three $1.50, six $2.75 
The full-fashioned, perky blossoms are light lavender blue and 
stand well above the foliage. One of the newer varieties and rec- 
ommended for its lively color, long blooming period, and vigor. 
*Purple Heart (PI. Pat. No. 671) Each 75c, three $2.00, six $3.75 
This very new variety has already become famous for its robust 
growth and huge, royal purple blossoms. The flowers reach 3 inches 
across and the graceful, 6 inch stems make this a superior type for 
cutting as well as garden display. You can count on a continual 
supply of velvety, wavy-petaled, giant blooms from spring ‘til frost. 
One of the most distinctive perennials!
