BEFORE you turn these pages, you will want to know 
a few essential things, such as... 
All our plants are sent postage paid to your door. (Ex- 
ception) Michigan customers add 3% sales tax. Canadian 
customers must secure necessary labels from their In- 
spector of Plant Products in Canada, and add 10% extra 
to cover higher postage costs. 
We guarantee all plants to be true to name, top quality 
and size, State Inspected and free from insect pests and 
disease. 
No shipments are made during freezing weather, as 
African Violets are tender plants and fail to survive 
when subjected to temperatures below forty degrees. 
Order early as many of the newer varieties are in scarce 
supply. We will not substitute but hope you will men- 
tion a second choice so there will be no delay in ship- 
ping your order, in case any variety is sold out. 
We offer a popular “Gift Mailing Service.” If you'd 
like, we’ll send an order of African’ Violets beautifully 
wrapped directly to your friends and loved ones. Living 
gifts will be cherished for many years. Just enclose your 
remittance and write name and address plainly. We'll 
include an appropriate card bearing your name. Your 
friends will be reminded of you each time their African 
Violet blooms, and they will be delighted with your 
thoughtfulness! 
Terms are remittance with order, no C.O.D. shipments 
made. 
Our catalog is sent regularly to customers on record. 
This is quite an investment and I do hope we can con- 
vince all of you to send us a trial order this season so 
that we can keep your name on our mailing list! 
Prices in this catalog cancel all previous quotations.
