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.
