Revised and updated version of the standard work on the subject first published over 10 years ago. The new edition has been considerably expanded with more cultivation details and more illustrations - over 60 colour photographs and watercolour paintings.

The author - the former president of the International Violet Association, Roy E Coombs - is one of the world's leading experts on violets and brings his knowledge, experience and passion to bear in this update of a classic work.

The book covers the history of violet cultivation; all four groups of violets - scented single violets (hardy), scented double violets (hardy), scented semi-double violets (hardy), and scented Parma violets (tender) - including an exhaustive list of cultivars in each, many of which are described in detail.

The author also discusses aspects of violet perfume manufacture.
