TRITOMA SPRINGTIME (New) 



(Plant Patent 318) 



Flowers in late June and July. The upper part 

 of the flower is rich coral red. the lower half ivory 

 yellow. These sparkling and /dear contrasting 

 colors hold one's attention in a* pleasing manner. 

 Springtime has been tested for hardiness in all 

 kinds of soil, and has weathered these conditions 

 without any protection. We heartily recommend 

 this novelty. It combines beautifully in the gar- 

 den with Delphiniums or Regale Lilies in flower 

 at the same time. A well established plant will 

 produce as many as 10 to 15 flower spikes about 3 

 feet tall. 



Price, 65c each; $6.50 per doz. 



New Single Flowering 

 Sweet Scented Violet 



-See Color Plate page 109 



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 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. 



Price, 60c each; $1.50 for 3; $5.00 doz.
