CHANGING the beauty of 10000 fair vOta- |
ries of fashion throughout the cold win |
ter and spring months, are the artificial |
products of an industry which adds a |
round million dollars annually to the |
income of professional florists. For Is |
years now the modest little violet has |
been pre-eminently the flower of fash |
ion; other plants have come and gone, !
but the little violet retains it's popular
ity, and refuses to be replaced by more
gaudy blooms. So continuous has the
demand been for violets that farms de-
voted exclusively to their culture have
been established in all parts of the
country. While the largest and most
successful are located on Long Island
and in Westchester county, New York,
there are many in New Jersey and Mas
sachusetts, and now worn-out Virginia
farms are being turned over to the
same use.
SO important have the violets become
in the estimation of the public that the
department of agriculture has investi-
gated the humble little plant, and the
best methods of cultivating it have
been given. 1t is even stated by one
of the experts connected with the de-
partment that an annual profit of $500
should be made from 100 shares devoted
to violet culture. This and more too is
made by farmers who are favorably To-
Gated near the large cities.
