Boner of the Year: Some months ago we of- 
fered the saintpaulia Red DuPont for sale and com- 
mented that it was synonymous with Congo-Queen. 
Our information came from one of the leading 
wholesale houses. Later on (after we’d sold out), 
we received the corrected version of the situation. 
The two plants are not the same. Congo Queen is 
the property of none other distinguished person 
than Mrs. Robert Wright, president of the African 
Violet Society of America. She has given cuttings 
to a very few intimate friends but has retained 
complete control of it. To charming Mrs. Wright 
we offer red-faced apologies.

ORDER NOW!!! Fragile stickers don’t mean a 
thing to the postal clerks during the Christmas 
rush. For this reason, we will suspend shipping

have all hands out to handle your orders these 
first two weeks in December so that (barring 
eccentricities of weather) your plants can reach 
you promptly. We will be glad to gift-wrap if 
you so desire. Don’t forget to send us your card 
if you want it enclosed.

the exception of perhaps a few days here and 
there. The guarantee of safe arival holds re-
