BLUSHING MAIDEN: This is an unusual color—not white and 
not pink, but a pastel shade in between. An accurate descrip- 
tion of the blossoms: “wax-like creamy white with a pink tinge 
near the deep yellow eye”. The foliage is light green, and this - 
variety blooms profusely. ei Sls 
DUCHESS (double-flowering blue): | Our own introduction 
and entirely different from anything you have ever seen! Some 
flowers are deep royal blue on both sides of the petals and 
some will have blossoms that are blue inside and silvery white 
on the back. Each flower has from 12-20 petals and many 
more unfurled. You will notice the lack of a “yellow eye” in 
the long-lasting blossoms, which grow in clusters held well 
above the foliage. This variety blooms very freely! $2.00 
DuPONT BLUE No. 5: The most popular color of the new 
‘DuPont Blue Hybrids recently introduced. A profuse bloom- 
er with extremely large sized baby-blue flowers, a wee bit | 
deeper in the center. And very distinguishing foliage too! 
See photo and complete description on page 18. $2.00 
DuPONT SILVER PINK: This is a brand new shade in 
African Violets—a light lavender with silvery overcast and 
very smooth coloring. Under ideal conditions this variety

edges, exquisitely pictured on page 5. $2.00 
IONANTHA: Not a new variety but one which has stood the 
test of time, and very dependable. Clean enamel-like blue 
flowers of excellent substance, placed on strong stalks. Blooms 
abundantly. Long-stemmed foliage is gracefully pointed, 
heavily quilted, dark glossy green and flushed deeply wine- 
color on mature plants. ~— $1.25

of blue), a splendid variety and entirely distinct from others
