INTRODUCTION 
It is in behalf of those who are just beginning to know their violets 
that we have compiled this catalogue. Also for the advanced enthusiast, 
who wishes to avoid duplication of varieties by name. The latter is of 
great benefit to either because one can buy more varieties rather than 
a duplicate plant by another name. 
There are numerous inquiries regarding the growing of violets asked 
here at the greenhouse that to us are the major ones pertaining to violet 
culture. These we will endeavor to answer to the very best of our abil- 
ity in the hopes you too may be most successful in growing these lovely 
plants. There is nothing more enchanting than a window of blooming 
African Violets. Nothing is more interesting than to See the first bud 
on a new plant that you have raised from a leaf or to watch that first 
seed pod develop and finally grow into something excitingly different. 
May we Say this to you in all fairness to both you and your helpful 
friends. Please do not try to adjust your new plants to the atmospheric 
conditions of their homes. 
Imagine the joy of having one of the plants you have developed through 
cross polination or otherwise win the top honors at the National Conven- 
tion of the African Violet Society of America. All this is open to the 
beginner as well as the advanced grower.
