Ino Wonderful New 
VIOLETS 
And a great Hardy Perennial 
for Winter Cutflowers 
Here are plants that will give great joy and satisfaction in 
your garden. The two Violets are outstanding in size, length 
of stem and form of flower,—flowers of exceeding beauty 
and fragrance. 
NEW VIOLET BLUE GIANT 
A marvellous novelty in every way, combining enormous length of stem, 
often ten to twelve inches long, with blossoms that attain a diameter of 
one and one-half inches. It is so strongly fragrant that a few flowers in a 
vase will permeate the whole room with delightful violet fragrance. The 
color is rich blue-violet. 
The plants are vigorous, with large leaves, and produce the long stemmed 
flowers in wonderful profusion. 
Plants in your garden will furnish quantities of bloom in winter and early 
spring, when cut flowers are highly prized. 
NEW VIOLET ROYAL ROBE 
Like Blue Giant in every way except color, which is a lustrous shade of 
deepest violet blue. The blossoms open out flat like a pansy or viola, as do 
those of Blue Giant. 
Both are hardy, with reasonable protection, in very cold sections, and 
thrive wonderfully on the Pacific Coast. 
Price: Strong plants of either variety, each 35c; 
3 for $1.00 
NEW VIOLET—ROYAL ROBE 


SAXIFRAGA CRASSIFOLIA 
SAXIFRAGA CRASSIFOLIA 
This beautiful Saxifraga, pictured above, is an exceed- 
ingly valuable plant to grow in shady spots in your gar- 
den, where it will thrive and produce lovely cut flowers 
under most difficult conditions. The plants grow in al- 
most any soil, in a shady position. Their large, glossy, 
leathery leaves and spikes of clear pink flowers make 
them doubly admirable for planting in front of shrubbery, 
or under trees where a mass planting is wanted. Added 
to their value for mass or border planting, is their beauty 
as cut flowers, which are freely produced in mid-winter. 
As it is so difficult to find a plant which will thrive 
readily in the shade, and yet produce flowers for cutting, 
this wonderful plant should be widely planted for this 
purpose. 
Price: 22 inch pots, each 10c; 10 for 90c; 
4 inch pots, each 25c; 10 for $2.25 
PINK VIOLET ROSINA 
A very pretty novelty Violet, that produces quantities 
of dainty pink or old rose flowers in spring, and again in 
late autumn. The flowers are deliciously fragrant, with 
the true Violet perfume. The plants thrive in full sun 
or half-shade, and make a pretty border for other peren- 
nials. 
Price—2 1/2 inch pots, each 20c; 10 for $1.80
