All the growers ofviolets in this region have been troubled of late years with a m pest that ravages the plants. The favorite double purple violets suffer most, the double white somewhat less. and the single almost not at all. It happens at times that all the violets in one greenhouse will he attacked while those in another close beside it will csmpe. It attacks even violets growing in cold frames, though on the whole these are hardlerthan hotbouse plants. The violet is a lover of cool air, and in this climate blooms all winter long and undrw glass without artificial heat. and the blmoms are seldom killed by frost if the frame is covered at night. But the fore lng pm swells the crop for market. and perhaps more violets are raised in hot houses than in cold frames.

Violets are costlier at the Christmas holi~ days and at Easter than at any other sea. son. The white violets. though lees popu- lnr than the purple. usually fetch quite as much. since they are raised in arunller quantities. The single violet fetches a smaller price than either.
