ABBREVIATIONS: L.P.—larger plants. Y.P.—ydunger plants. $.P.—sturdy small plants. C.—cutting, which means just what a leaf 
produced, usually about 3 plantlets; many leaves however produce only 1 plantlet; we try to strike a satisfactory average for you. Usually 
cuttings are ready for you to divide and pot separately; very new varieties are sometimes too small to be divided; reset too-young cuttings 
in starting medium and grow them on for a while before dividing; don’t divide until plantlets are an inch high and sturdy; many divide too 
young for good results. R.L.—rooted leaf, some of them rooted in charcoal water; set these out in starting medium, turn a glass over for 
a week, and they should produce plantlets for you soon. L.—leaf fresh cut from plant. No G.—insufficient stock to allow as gifts. 
NEW VARIETIES are marked by asterisk (*).

POTTING SOIL — Remember violets in their natural state grow in leafmold. Keep your mix porous. Whether you make your own potting 
mix, or whether you buy it, don’t keep it sacked away in a dark place. Darkness “‘kills’’ soil; ask any one who ever moved bullding 
or tore down a porch. Keep your soil in an open box, in a sunny spot. 
(GROUP 3, listing newest varieties, will be found on reverse side. Too much to get on this page, so we 
Just changed groups 3 and 4 about. TURN OVER for newest single-blossom varieties. 
Thank you.)
