About the Different “Blues” and “Lavenders” 
We are able to see the difference in the shades when 
we compare one variety against another, because we 
have them both, but we admit it must be difficult for you 
to judge the color of Ionantha blooms or Sapphire when 
you have neither plant in your hand. So, this is our new 
idea, and we will list the lightest at the head of the list, 
and the darker the flower is, the farther it is down the 
list.

POTTING SOIL 
African Violet Potting Soil: If you are unable to mix 
your own soil, and would like to have some on hand, for 
re-potting your plants, I offer a special mixture. It con- 
tains the proper amount of: good garden soil, leaf mold 
(rich woods earth), well rotted manure, peat moss and 
sand, and bone-meal, plus a bit of broken clay pottery for 
drainage. The soil has been steam-sterilized, and treated 
with sodium selenate to resist mite. We offer: 
3 lb. box postpaid for $1.00 
5 Ib. box postpaid for $1.75 
(Note: This soil will be shipped separately, and due 
to the high cost of box and postage, may we ask that you 
do not include the price of the SOIL when adding up 
your order for “free value’’?)
