VIOLA ODORATA ROYAL ROBE 
VlIOLA—Continued 
*pedata (var. bicolor) — (Birds Foot Violet) —-An eastern 
and mid-western native with finely cut foliage and large 
two-colored flowers in mid-Spring. The upper petals are 
dark, velvety violet and the lower ones pale lilac. 3 in. 
Give a sandy, acid soil and a little shade. 50c and 75c. 
**pedata lineariloba—Similar to the above in habit and culture 
but the leaf segments are narrower and the flowers are 
solid lilac lavender. 50c and 75c. 
VIOLA—Sweet Violet 
VIOLA odorata (Sweet: Violet) Familiar, lovely flowers with 
great sentimental appeal. These cheerful plants are easily 
grown in ordinary soil but grow and look best in a rich, 
loamy soil with light shade and considerable moisture. They 
all make a solid carpet and have long been used as a ground- 
cover. The fragrant, single or double blooms of many shades 
are produced abundantly in late Winter in warm sections 
and during the Spring in colder areas. They make charm- 
ing miniature bouquets. The varieties below offer a wide 
selection of the best kinds. It is probably the largest nursery 
collection in this country. We send only vigorous, young 
plants! 
Please Note—We have withdrawn several varieties temporarily 
in order to propagate them. As soon as sufficient plants 
are avialable, we shall offer them again. 
Double Russian—An old double variety but still the best, 
deep, violet-colored kind. Each 50c, three $1.40, six $2.50. 
Princess of Wales—A long-stemmed, large-flowered, deep 
purple which is especially good for cutting. 50c. 
Rosina—Very hardy and fragrant. A charming new color, best 
described as a combination of pink and rose shades. 50c. 
Royal Robe—The blossoms, which are a lustrous shade of 
deep violet blue, are delicately fragrant and open flat 
like a Pansy or Viola. It has large leaves and is very robust. 
Unbelievably large for a Sweet Violet. New. 60c. 
semperflorens— This is the Perpetual Flowering Sweet Violet. 
It produces medium sized flowers off and on all year. Deep 
blue purple, fragrant, and hardy. Each 50c, three $1.40, 
Sixao2 50: 
Vilmoriniana (sulphurea) —Probably the rarest of the Sweet 
Violets. Rather leafy plants but the abundant apricot 
blooms, touched violet on the back, are unique and charm- 
ing. Rarely offered. $1.00. 
ZAUSCHNERIA—Rock Fuchsia 
ZAUSCHNERIA *californica—An excellent plant for warmer sec- 
tions of the country. Colorful and useful in rock walls, large 
rock gardens, or the front of borders where the sprawling 
stems can display their gray, downy, narrow foliage and 
brilliant scarlet, tubular flowers. 1 to 1 Y ft. Will tolerate 
extreme heat and drought when established but must 
have a sunny, well-drained spot. One of our brightest plants 
from mid-Summer through the Fall. Pots, 75c; field, $1.00. 
californica splendens—Much like the above but more hardy 
and with green leaves. The scarlet blooms are also Fuchsia- 
like and almost cover the plants. Recommended for ‘‘diffi- 
cult’’ places. Pots, 75c; field, $1.00.
