DOUBLE RUSSIAN VIOLETS 
(Not illustrated) 
An exquisite double old-fashioned Violet with an unusually sweet 
fragrance. It is hardy anywhere and can effectively be placed wherever 
a low, colorful purple is needed; with rich green foliage. Very easy to 
grow. Excellent for semi-shady places. Produces an abundance of 
lovely flowers, pretty in bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. Always 
in bloom, May to Oct. 
50c each; 3 for $1.35; 6 for $2.50 
SUPER-GIANT VIOLET, Royal Robe 
(Below, Right) 
Magnificent, extra-large flowers of lustrous, deepest violet-blue. Very 
easy to grow. Intensely fragrant. A few flowers will fill an entire room 
with their exquisite odor. Ideal for corsages, boutonnieres, bouquets. 
The rugged plants have sturdy foliage and bloom abundantly in early 
spring and again in fall. The large, superb flowers open wide, like a 
pansy or viola, often exceeding 1 in. across. Their stiff, erect stems grow 
up to 8 in. or more. 
This is one of our most popular perennials because it is such a useful 
plant for difficult, partially shaded spots where other things will not 
grow well. Once established, each plant becomes a broad mass of green, 
producing its fragrant blooms more generously year after year. 
We are proud of this new and highly prolific Violet with so many un- 
usual qualities, knowing it is hardy enough to live over winter even in 
this rigorous climate of northern New York State; we protect the plants 
only with leaves or straw.
