New Single Flowering 

 Sweet Scented Violet, 



ROYAL ROBE 



This newcomer in the Violet world is by 

 far the most beautiful we have ever seen. 

 Unlike other varieties of violets, the plant 

 itself is a perfect picture. It develops into a 

 compact rounded plant about one foot in 

 diameter and about a foot in height. The 

 foliage is magnificent, healthy, and bold and 

 about four inches in diameter. 



Its chief attraction however are the glorious 

 flowers which are the largest of any violet we 

 have seen; they open flat like a pansy and are 

 produced on long stems. The color is lus- 

 trous deep violet-blue and its fragrance, which 

 of course is the principal characteristic of any 

 violet,.is most delightful. 



A few plants of Royal Robe in your garden 

 will furnish quantities of lovely fragrant 

 flowers for cutting in early Spring when 

 flowers are most highly prized.
