Introducing the new DuPONT AFRICAN VIOLETS 
“the aristocrats of the Saintpaulias” 
The new DuPont African Violets represent the greatest 
advance yet made in Saintpaulias, and we consider our- 
selves most fortunate to introduce them to you. 
These six varieties offered, were displayed at the Afri- 
can Violet Society Convention, held in Cincinnati in 
May 1949, and represent the latest advancement in the art 
of flower breeding. We urge our customers to treat them- 
selves to the thrill of growing something extraordinary by 
ordering as many as your budget can afford! These ex- 
quisite creations were admired by all who attended the 
Convention, and we take great pleasure in listing them 
in our catalog. 
The distinguishing characteristics of the new DuPont 
Violets are the extremely large flowers and foliage. Under 
ideal conditions the plants have produced flowers of 214” 
across!
