very elegant plants when in blossom. The
stove and greenhouse aquatic species should
be grown in tubs or cisterns of water. The
hardy kinds succeed well in a pond. The
marshy kinds, as V, geminàta^ require to be
grown in pots, in a mixture of peat and sand,
ajid the pots to be placed in water. They are
all readily increased, by divisions, or by seed.

VIÒLA, Linn. Latin name of the flowers. Linn.
5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Violàcem. All the species
of this genus deserve to be cultivated, either
for the beauty or the scent of their iiowers.
The hardy perennial kinds are well fitted for
ornamenting the front of flower-borders or
rock-work, hut the smaller species succeed
best when grown in pots, in a mixture of loam,
peat, and sand. The species, natives of America,
thrive best in vegetable mould or peat,
and are readily increased by parting the roots,
or by seeds. The greenhouse and stove species
should be grown in a mixture of loam and
peat ; the herbaceous kinds of them are increased
by seed, or dividing the roots, and the
shrubby kinds by cuttings, which root readily
when planted under a glass. The annual species
may be sown in the open borders or on
rock-work. The JSTeapolitan violet, Y. odorata
pàllido-piena^ may be made to flower throughout
the winter and early spring, by placing it
in a -stove or warm pit. 7. canina is said to
be a famous agent in removing cutaneous
diseases. Synonymes: 1, V. soi-oria] 2, F.

are very elegant when in blossom ; they succeed
well in a mixture of loam, peat, and
sand, and are increased by young cuttings in
sand under a glass. Y. lùtea is an elegant
hardy tree, well siùted for shrubberies or pleasure
grounds. It is commonly propagated by
laying down the shoots in autumn or spring.
