REVOLUTUM, DOG S -TOOTH VIOLETS 
A bed of these superb flowers is shown very true to nature in the halftone on page 12. 
The stems are long, the flowers large and exquisitely tinted, often single, ne\'er more 
than four to the stem, and the leaves are mottled in white and green. While the plants 
thrive in garden loam, they do well in heavy soils which are quite wet in winter. 
I cannot supply Revolutum type this year. 
Revolutum, Pink Beauty is like type, but a soft pink. Very lovely wild type from 
Northwestern California. 8 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz. 
Revolutum Johnsonii, or E. Johnsonii, is perhaps the most lovely of all Erythroniums. 
With the stout habit of this group, it has exquisite rose-pink flowers. From the coastal 
region of Oregon. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
Watsonii is also known as Giganteum, and is hardly of this class. It has white 
flowers, beautifully toned with brown. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz., $3.75 per 100. 
Mixed Erythroniums. A fine mixture at 25 cts. per doz., $2 per 100, $15 per 1,000.
