A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR OWN 
INTRODUCTIONS 
We sent so many catalogs last year to new enthusiasts that we 
will devote this page to describing briefly, a few of the most 
important features of the African Violet varieties we have named 
and introduced in the last two years. Each one is distinct and a 
leader in its color class. 
BLUE GIRL SUPREME is especially desirable because cf its 
foliage and giant-sized flowers. The foliage on mature plants is 
very scallopped and there is also a white spot in the center of 
-each “flute.” This variety remains compact and is a fine window- 
sill plant. You will have many huge blooms without special 
attention. 
DUCHESS (Double-Flowering) is the best selling variety in my 
catalog, pictured on the cover, and described on page 7. 
F-1 HYBRIDS (Seedlings) are first generation hybrids, grown 
from genuinely hand hybridized seed obtained from distinct 
varieties crossed to produce seed. Since no two seeds (even from 
the same cross and pod) will produce plants exactly alike, your 
purchase of an F-1 Hybrid plant assures you of one that is dif- 
ferent from any other. Your plant may be grown under any name 
of your selection. 
PERIWINKLE is our new seedling, described on page 9, pictured 
on page 4. 
REGAL WINE (double flowering) is our new introduction this 
Spring also, and is described fully on page 17, and is pictured 
on page 5. 
ROSY BLUE is known for its free blooming qualities and“for its 
habit of changing from deep maroon blooms to many shades of 
orchid as the flowers mature. We recommend Rosy Blue to those 
who have difficulty blooming their African Violets.
