1t is said that there are hundred or two
different kinds of viOlets including their first
cousins, the pansies. Twenty or more are to be
found in America. The English violeLs are
fragrant, and so are those grown ut Nice and
Cannes OF our wild violets, the little white
ones, with fine lavender markings, have a
sweet feotinG fragrance but our pretty pur-
pie wood violets have no odor except for the
woodsy scent that all wild flowers have. We
have round abou: hero four or five varieties
the wood violet, ranging in color from pale
lavender to deep purple; the pausy violet,
with two dark velvet PETALS; the white violet,
tho birds-foot violet; and au occasional yellow
violet. The dog tooth violet with its large
flowers and spotted leaves. is really lily, and
it seems queer that it should have been placed
with tho yiolets ut all. Naturalisis have suS-
gosted various other names more appropriate
for it, as tho trout lily because of its spccklcd
leaves and its habit OF growing near streams
Sometimes it is called the adders tongue;
but since the adder's tongue is not speck-
led, there is no particular seuse in that name
either.

velous Rev. J. L. Combs. of MartiBsburg, w.
Va, writes that it cured him of Asthma of fifty
years standing. and Hon. l.. g. Clute, of Gree
ley, Iowa. tcst.iies that for three years he had
TO sleep propped up IN a chair. being unable to
lie down night or day from Asthma. The
koa Plant cured him at once. To make the
matter sure, these aud hundreds of other cures
are sworn to under oath before notary public.
SO great is their faith in its wonderful curative
powers. the Kola Importing Co, 1874 Broadway,
New York, is sending out large trial cases of
the koa Compound free to all sufferers from
Asthma. Send them your name and address
on postal card, aud they will send you large
trial case by mail free. 1t costs you nothing,
and you should surely try it.
