A beautiful variegated trailing plant, rapid growth, leaves dark green, centre light green, light blue flowers. 15 cts.; $ per doz. Major Variegata. Similar to the above in growth, leaves glossy green, broadly margined with creamy white, blue flowers; both sorts admirably adapted to hanging baskets and 15 cts.; $ per doz. i#Bffl!HiiiK VIOLET. It is one of the leading flowers among florists for bouquets and cut flowers. All the varieties should have a slight pro- tection of leaves during the winter. A better plan to insure early spring flowering is, to plant in cold frames in the fall. They thrive best, during the summer, in a shady situation, in a rich, deep soil. 15 cts.; $ per doz., except where noted. Belle de Chatenay. Pure white, border of petals em- broidered with lilac. It is quite fragrant. King of Violets. Large, double, dark blue. 30 cts. Marie Louise. Deep violet blue; very fragrant and free- flowering. It should be grown by all interested in the cul- ture of cut flowers, on account of its easy forcing qualities. Neapolitan. Light blue, large, double, and exquisitely fragrant. Odorata fl. PL. The old double Russian violet, producing the largest double dark blue flowers, very fragrant. 25 cts. Odoratissima (New). This variety has been recommended as the largest and best single blue yet sent out. Deep sky-blue shading to light sky-blue. Of very dwarf growth, with dis- tinct, large, handsome foliage. 25 cts.; $ per doz. Princess Louise. Fine, double, white. Queen Victoria.
