IN CLOSING 
Have we aroused your interest in African Violets? We 
do enjoy issuing this little catalog and hope you will join 
our many customers in this fascinating hobby. Though it 
is not a difficult plant to grow, some enthusiasts consider it 
a challenge to take non-blooming specimens from friends 
and return it a little later filled with buds and blossoms! 
In this catalog we offer a new series of DuPont Hybrid 
African Violets—truly representative of the latest advance- 
ments in the art of flower breeding! You gwvill find each 
one distinct and an exquisite collector’s gem. ~ 
You will find several “Supreme’s’” listed—these origi- 
nate as sports varieties with ordinary-sized flowers. Foliage 
of the Supreme’s and Amazon Red, which is another name 
for Red Head Supreme, is very round, quite hairy, and 
compact, while the flowers—though fewer—cause consid- 
erable comment among the uninitiated who will wonder 
what is the secret of your success! Collectors are justly 
proud of this strain. 
In this catalog you will find both the new higher priced 
varieties for those who want the latest sorts and also the 
exquisite kinds that are just a few years older that are 
priced low to be available to the most modest purse. You 
can rely on our catalog descriptions. are 
We include “Growing Instructions” with all orders. 
This covers soil recipes, directions for potting, containers 
and watering and fertilizing; location of plants, humidity, 
temperature, general care and culture. Then there are easy 
to follow hints on propagation, and a paragraph on how 
to save a plant which has been damaged. Perhaps you have 
a friend who is having trouble with her African Violets? 
Just send us a stamped addressed envelope and ask for. 
these Instructions. I’m sure it will be of great value.
