Violets Profitable.

Violet farming is profitable work. A woman horticulturist whom I know in Hampshire (says an English correspondent) made a ‘good livelihood out of it in pre-war days, and. having now been demobbed. Is again Installed on her picturesque estate. She cultivates violets of a mammoth size, and of exquisite perfume. Some are destined for decorative purposes, some for the scent factory, while others find a ready market in the confectionery trade, where crystallized violets are in large demand.
