Jan. 12, 1949—I wanted to let you know my last shipment of plants and 
leaves arrived in perfect condition, though the temperature was at 16 de- 
grees F. when they came. Thank you very much. R. W. U., Oklahoma 
City, Okla. 
Feb. 19, 1949—One cannot describe this perfect way of packing such deli- 
cate plants, in one word. I think they would stand most any freeze and 
come through in perfect condition. They were still moist and having 
them in pots makes it much easier for us to re-pot them in larger pots, 
Mrs. L. G. A., Clearbrook, Va. 
Mar. 2, 1949—Received the African Violets on March 19th. In fine condi- 
tion. I am very pleased with the beautiful, healthy plants. Sincerely 
yours, Mrs. R. K., Danbury, Conn. 
April 22, 1949—My order of Violets arrived on April 15th, and I must con- 
gratulate you upon the ingenious method of packing. After the long trip 
across the continent, they were as fresh and perky as when they were 
packed. Thank you for your promptness. Very truly, Mrs. E. M., Oak- 
land, Calif. 
May 6, 1949—I want to congratulate you on the method used in shipping 
your plants. My order of African Violets arrived in perfect condition, the 
plants were as nice as any I could have purchased from a shop in my own 
town. I am enclosing a check for $3.00 for the Afri-Gro to transplant 
them in larger pots, I have transplanted some and they are in fine shape, 
the soil seems to be better than any I have used heretofore. Yours re- 
spectfully, Mrs. B. B. L., Dallas, Pa. 
June 6, 1949—My plants arrived Saturday in excellent condition in spite 
of the customs. They were so attractive in their Gift wrappings. Thank 
you for your prompt attention. Sincerely, F. P., Toronto 12, Ont., Canada. 
July 18, 1949—I am in receipt of the six Violet Plants. These are the most 
beautiful lot of plants I have ever seen. I have bought quite a large num- 
ber of plants via mail, but have never seen such perfect packing of plants 
known to be so fragile, your method is faultless indeed! Yours very truly, 
Mrs. B. G., Harrisonburg, Va.

Dear Flower Lover: 
As we mentioned before we have discarded the idea of printing an 
elaborate Catalog, having art work, cuts, engraving, etc. done is very ex- 
pensive and we feel not necessary. The main thing you, the customer is 
interested in is knowing the varieties and prices and service rendered. We 
have reduced substantially all our prices without sparing quality, packing 
or service, this is accomplished by cutting down our overhead wherever 
possible, hence no fancy catalog, that is a burden which must be added to 
the cost of plants. 
We pledge ourselves to continue the same high class service, mer- 
chandise and packing which our many satisfied cutomers have attested to 
by their kind, unsolicited letters. We shall use every means available to 
keep overhead down and quality up. 
Yours for finer African Violets, 
Alex. H. Frentzen.
