REGAL WINE—Double-Flowering: (Pictured on page 5 
and described on page 17). This is the variety that everyone 
has been waiting for! My own new introduction this season. 
Each wine-maroon flower has from 12-20 petals; Regal 
Wine is a true fancier’s variety. Most desirable and very 
choice, order your plant today—the supply is limited. $3.50 
ROSY-BLUE: My introduction in 1947. We have counted 
more blossoms on plants of Rosy-Blue than on any other 
variety in this catalog. If you have had trouble blooming 
your African Violets, Rosy-Blue is the one you should buy. 
A plant in full bloom will have flowers of many different 
hues. Freshly opened blooms exhibit a pronounced maroon- 
wine cast, which change to many shades of orchid and 
“Rosy-Blue.” This unusual habit makes it most attractive and 
it stands in a special niche of its own. Fine undivided 
RUFFLES: New in my catalog this year. Ruffles is distinct 
for its foliage, which is narrow and pointed. The edge of 
leaves is toothed with a distinct fullness that gives a ruffled 
appearance—and is so very, very dark! Underside of the 
leaves is quite rosy, deepening to almost red. The color of 
blooms is similar to Jonantha, but Ruffles’ blossoms are 
more dainty, with an elongated lower petal... _ $1.75 
SKY BLUE (same as Tinted Lady): The African Violet 
Society describes the flowers on this variety as follows: 
“Color is white overlaid with a tint of light grey blue, pro- 
duced freely in clusters of 5-8 just at the top of the foliage.” 
It is a very unusual color, and the leaves are pale green, 
slightly tinted pale wine beneath. $2.00
