Notwithstanding the vast strides this
industry has made in the past ten
years. violet culture is little under

wolves endless care and continual bat
tie against insect life at the leaf and
stem, while rot may attack the root.
Then comes constant cultivation every
day in the year.
In the spring all plants are thrown
away and the houses restocked and all
the earth taken out and replenished
from a new supply During the Win

given in the right quantities.
The principal revenue in the violet
business is reaped from November to
May. In this respect it differs from
regular greenhouses where all varie-
ties of flowers are grown. After May
the yiolets grow smaller as the heat
