VIOLA—New English Bedding Type 
These Violas are far ahead of all other types yet introduced. 
In addition to having flowers as large as Pansies, they are 
even more profuse bloomers than the older types, pro- 
ducing masses of color from early spring until fall. Their 
habit of stooling out from the ground produces a clump 
a foot or more across in a short time with literally hun- 
dreds of fragrant flowers. Our stock is all true, being 
grown from division only. 
*Better Times—This lovely new plant has flowers as large as 
a pansy but is true Viola type, stooling out from the 
ground to torm a large clump which is covered from spring 
to fall with immense bright primrose yellow flowers. It is 
not only the most free flowering Viola we have ever seen 
but is also one of the most fragrant. True stock grown 
from division. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00 
*Eileen—Magnificent deep royal blue similar in form to the 
famous Jersey Gem but fully three times as large and of 
finer color. Vigorous and free flowering, a two year clump 
often displaying fifty or more perfect, long stemmed flow- 
ers at one time. Blooms from May to November. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $4.00 
*Enchantress—An outstanding new sort with very large me- 
dium dark lavender blooms. Strong grower. Free bloomer. 
Hardy. We cannot recommend it too highly 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50 
*Gold Coin—This new Viola has all the fine attributes of 
Better Times but is a deep golden yellow. A really fine 
new plant. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00; doz. $15.00 
*Maggie Mott—This is the lovely pure pale blue with creamy 
center that is used for borders and beds by the thousands 
in English gardens. 85c each; 3 for $2.35; doz. $8.50 
*Snowdrift—A superb new pure white with large rounded 
flowers in such profusion as to hide the foliage. The first 
really good perennial white Viola we have seen.

VIOLA—Various Species 
The following species are all happier in full sun although 
they will do fairly well in light shade. The popular beliet
