Whole Acres Of ViOlets.
rom the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Call
To California belongs the honor of
giving the world two new varieties OF
violets, which have been developed by
Thomas H. Stevenson, at his nursery
in Mill Valley. Each of the new varieties
is distinctly Californian in origin and
culture and they are besides remarkably
rich in coloring and beauty.
The two new varities are both offshoots
from the Princess of Wales violet, which
was brought over here from London
several years ago. One Is deep blue,
darker in color and Of larger size than
the Princess of Wales, and has been
named the Duchess Of Marlborough. 1t
is a magnificent flower as regards size
and coloring, and should soon take
precedence over its parent, the Princess
of Wales, which has been heretofore the
most favored of all the violets.
The other new specimen is, indeed, a
novelty, for its color is deep magenta,
almost red. 1t is much smaller than
the Princess of Wales, but Mr.. Stevenson
believes that another year of culture
will add to its size and the richness OF
its colorings. 1t has been named the
Admiral Avellan.
The two varieties have been isolated
to plots by themselves in the nursery,
where particular care will be given to
their development.
The violet craze is now at its height,
and no flower enjoys such popularity rs
that bestowed upon the violet. Perhaps
in no other city of the world would such
sight be witnessed rs the daily process
sion of violet buyers along the street to
the florist shops and the corners where
men and women, boys and girls, are
earning many an honest penny In pander-
ing to the popular demand for violets
Hundreds Of acres adjacent to San
Francisco are devoted to the culture of
the flower, ana the daily shipments to
the floral market Of the city are some
thing stupendous.

AFTER NEW ASSOCIATION.
National League Would Combin'
With American if Necessary.

Win American II Necessary.
New York. Oct. 23.--Tvo plans of ac-
ton, it is understood, are being consid-
cred by the National League magnates
TO forestaII the organization which was
formed in Baltimore lately under the
title of the National association. One
of these plans is to re-establish the
twelve CLUB circuit, the other is 10 join
with the American league in a scheme
so that that organization can extend its
circuit to the east.
Should the first proposition be taken
up Washington and Baltimore will be
embraced in the circuit in the east and
Detroit and Cleveland in the west. 1t
is rumOred that if the second PROPOSE
ton is deemed feasible that is a CO.
alition with the American league the
league viii be composed of teams in
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington in the east and Cleveland,
Chicago Milwaukee and st. Louis in
the west.
A further feature of this scheme
would be that the American league
schedule would be so arranged as to
have games on National league
grounds in the eastern cities and in St.
Louis and Cleveland while the clubs
of the larger organization were travel
ing. The National league to carry out
this would provide the grounds in the
places not specified. The whole ar
rangement. the magnates are said to
think, would discourage the National
association in that it would insure con-
tinuOus baseball in the cities, which it
is expected, Will ave association fran
