TROLLIUS 
Sussex Queen 
A truly fascinating new golden yel- 
low Trollius of the improved Lede- 
bouri type—an improved form of 
Golden Queen from Ernest Ladham 
of Sussex, Eng. The two outer rows 
of petals, instead of staying cupped 
as in other types, flatten out grace- 
fully and effectively, making a beau- 
tiful picture with their very inter- 
esting stamens, strong filaments, 
rich-colored anthers. Blooms from 
end of May into July. Does well in 
sun and really thrives in semi-shade. 
Will gracefully beautify your gar- 
den. Height 3 to 4 ft. 
65ceach; 3 for $1.75; 6 for $3.25 
TROLLIUS, Superbus 
Europeus. New for 1945. These 
quaint “‘Globe Flowers’’ bring to 
your modern garden old-world 
charm suggestive of fields where 
wooden shoes. are worn and shep- 
herd dogs draw milk carts. Long a 
favorite in Europe, these charmingly 
cupped bright golden flowers are 
greatly improved in size and the 
plants in vigor. The curved-petaled 
flowers are so globular in form that 
they seem almost entirely double, 
and come in great profusion during 
June and July. The plants reach a 
height of 114 to 2 ft. and enjoy a 
moist and semi-shady spot. Here’s 
a flower that has a personality all 
its own and adds greatly to the at- 
tractiveness of the late spring bloom 
in your garden. 
75c each; 3 for $2.; 6 for $3.75

Violet, Double Russian 
SUPER-GIANT VIOLET, Royal Robe 
Magnificent, extra-large flowers of lustrous, 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 exquisite odor. Ideal for corsages, boutonnieres, 
bouguets. 
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, often 
more than 1 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 $1.75; 6 for $3.25
