Violas 
Violas 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 masses 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.
