New Single Flowering 

 Sweet Scented Violet, 



ROYAL ROBE 



This newcomer m the Violet world is by 

 far the most beautiful we have ever seen. 

 Unlike other yarieties 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 is the glori- 

 ous 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 lustrous deep violet-blue and its 

 fragrance, which of course is the principal 

 characteristic of any violet, is most de- 

 lightful. 



A few plants of Royal Robe in your gar- 

 den will furnish quantities of lovely fra- 

 grant flowers for cutting in early Spring 

 when flowers are most highly prized.
