Violas 
Vicias are among the most beloved flowers. Their cheerful and colorful blos- 
soms 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 sum- 
mer weather it stands up better and flowers most freely; with fall and cool 
weather it bursts forth again into masss 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.

*FLORAIRE Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65, 100 $28.00 
A most remarkable Viola. No sooner has the snow melted than it com- 
mences to flower, keeping on all summer without let-up until covered by 
winter snows. It is not unusual to find dozens of blooms on a plant after 
Christmas. Lavender-blue is the prevailing color, sometimes showing lighter 
or darker tints.

bright yellow eye at the center of each flower gives additional lift and 
sparkle to the lovely, velvety purple. The plant sends out many shoots for 
a continual supply of flowers; from spring until winter freezing sets in, there 
is an abundance of booms. The habit of the plant is nice and compact, not 
sprawly like so many Violas are, and it is perfectly hardy.

to be desired. This perpetual flowering Violet

favorable location will soon become a big 
clump. Does well in light shade. Perfectly

will bear out all we have had to say and more. A few plants 
of this Violet in the garden will serve to furnish quantities 
of bloom either during early winter or early spring and at 
a time when cut flowers are most highly prized.

strong growing variety and is quite happy in full sun. A 
fine companion for Roval Robe which still continues to be 
the best of blue Violets.

and a better, lighter blue. Does 
well in light shade and is a 
charming subject for the rock 
garden as well. The brilliant yellow 
eye helps to give the lovely blue 
flower additional life and sparkle.

habits of a good garden plant.
