Substitutions—Filling your order, particularly 
late in the season when stocks are running low, 
can be a speedier and more satisfactory process 
if you suggest substitutions. If you are taking ad- 
vantage of the Collector’s Discount, it is especially 
desirable for you to do this, since to refund on one 
or two plants would make you ineligible for the 
10% or 20% discount. 
Growing Tips—The most common trouble about 
violets is making them bloom. We've found that 
the difficulty is most often in the amount of light 
given the plants. Direct sunshine, more than an 
hour or two a day, will burn the foliage, but 
“light” is a different matter. Select your brightest, 
cheeriest rooms for your violet plants. Corner 
rooms are usually good—where they receive light 
from | spe or three sides rather than from just 
one side. 
Another common trouble is the soil in which 
they are grown. Add enough sand or peat to make 
a crumbly, friable mixture so that air can get to 
the roots of your plants, or try our sterile potting 
mix. See below.
