SAINTPAULIAS 

Mentor Boy 
Because of its compact growth 
and free-blooming habit, the Afri- 
ean Violet has become America’s 
favorite for the home, office and 
schoolroom. Under average con- 
ditions it will grow well and bloom 
almost continuously, but you must 
take care of it—it will not stand 
neglect. We have built up a large 
stock of the varieties listed below 
and will be able to fill nearly all 
orders with plants that are in bud 
or bloom. Expertly packed and 
guaranteed to reach you in good 
condition. As Saintpaulias are 
damaged by low temperatures, we 
do not ship during extremely cold 
weather.
