VIOLET ROYAL ROBE 
New Single Sweet Scented 
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 per- 
fect 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 glorious flow- 
ers, 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 prin- 
cipal 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.
