NEW GIANT 
HARDY TRITOMA 
Robin Hood 
Yes, it’s really true! You can now have 
these mammoth spires, far superior to 
the old-fashioned ‘‘Red-Hot Pokers,’’ on 
stems 30 in. long—all without the fuss 
of having to dig up and store over winter! 
Robin Hood is really hardy, surviving 
the rigorous below-zero winters of north- 
ern New York. Here is compelling color 
dramatically displayed! The brilliant 
spires will stir your imagination as does 
the bold, chivalrous Robin Hood of Sher- 
wood Forest. The towering flower-heads 
are red-orange, bright but not harsh in 
their display, starting in July and reach- 
ing their peak in Sept.; frequently as 
many as 10 to 12 long spires at a time. 
Narrow lanceolate foliage. Robin Hood 
thrives in almost any sunny location. For 
a varied color range, combine with the 
J. & P. Hardy Tritomas on page 40. 
$1. each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $5.

N A year when there is such tremendous interest in 
Perennials—both for planting in the Victory Garden 
and for adding the cheer of color and fragrance to the 
home grounds by the use of colorful borders, sidewalk 
and boundary plantings—it is indeed a pleasure to pro- 
vide these indomitable leaders—two entirely new, never 
before listed in the ‘Parade of Modern Perennials.’’ You 
will never regret including all three in your plantings this 
spring—you'll want many more pictured within this 
book, pages 30 to 41.

LYTHRUM, Rosalie 
Salicaria Rosalie will further increase the mod- 
ern vogue for Lythrum so accelerated by our in- 
troduction of The Beacon about three years ago. 
The lovely flowers are a captivating art shade of 
rose-pink which creates lovely color harmony in 
many locations. Of wide adaptability, doing equally well in 
moist, shady borders and in open, dry locations—not subject 
to diseases. The graceful flowers are closely set on 2-ft. 
spikes that flower right down to the ground. Interesting foli- 
age. Long season—blooms from July till frost. Height 2 ft. 
65c each; 3 for $1.65; 6 for $3.25 
VIOLET, Royal Robe 
(Plant Patent rights reserved) 
Magnificent, extra-large flowers of lus- 
trous, deepest violet-blue. So intensely 
fragrant a few plants will fill the air and 
send their delightful perfume even 
hundreds of feet away. A few flowers 
will fill an entire room with their ex- 
quisite odor. Ideal for corsages, bou- 
tonnieres, bouquets. 
The rugged plants have sturdy foliage 
and bloom abundantly in early spring, 
also in fall. The large, superb flowers 
open wide, like a pansy or viola, as 
much as 134 in. across. Their stiff, 
erect stems grow up to 8 in. or more. 
We are proud of this new and highly 
prolific Violet with so many unusual 
qualities, knowing it is hardy enough to 
live over winter even in this rigorous 
climate of northern New York State; 
we protect the plants with leaves or 
straw. Strong growing plants. 
65c each; 3 for $1.65; 6 for $3.25
