A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR INTRODUCTIONS 
We sent so many catalogs last year to new enthusi- 
asts 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. 
e BLUE GIRL SUPREME is especially desirable because 
of its foliage and giant-sized flowers. The foliage on 
mature plants is very scalloped and there is also a 
white spot in the center of each “flute.” This variety 
remains compact and is a fine windowsill plant. You 
will have many huge blooms without special atten- 
tion. 
DUCHESS and REGAL WINE are both exquisite 
double-flowering varities — identical excepting the 
color of blooms. Duchess has continued to be my best- 
selling variety. 
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 ma- 
ture. We recommend Rosy-Blue to those who have 
difficulty blooming their African Violets. 
~ @ PERIWINKLE: The lightest blue in my catalog, with 
. many large flowers in a cluster. 
“NEW 1950 INTRODUCTIONS” 
@ BLACK BEAUTY: Truly immense reddish purple 
flowers, darkest I have ever seen! 
@ QUEEN NEPTUNE: Double-flowering light blue 
flowers and very outstanding foliage. 
@ WHITE GIRL: At last a free-blooming white with 
ornamental foliage! White Girl originated as a ‘'seed- 
ling” and it will earn its place as the best ' white” 
as soon as stock is more plentiful. F
