the test of time.

MENTOR BOY 
(reddish purple) 
$1.25 
Mentor Boy is a beautiful variety, and such an easy 
bloomer too! The flowers are so velvety in texture — and 
so many of them on each stalk! Likes to bloom even 
when quite young, and you'll enjoy the “fuzzy” leaves 
which are lightly quilted. This variety remains attractive 
and you’re sure to have a “Specimen Plant” in a short time. 
Our brand new introduction “Black Beauty” is a 
sport of Mentor Boy. Tho “Black Beauty” has fewer 
flowers on each stalk, a plant in bloom is so striking, so 
beautiful that you'll want both of these varieties in your 
collection. Imagine these intensely colored blackish purple 
velvety flowers on your sunniest windowsill! 
“Black Beauty” is $2.25, 
Special Note to Enthusiasts: ; 
We enjoy seeing snapshots of your African Violet plants. Just 
mention the variety and tell us if you want the picture back — 
we know some of you are very proud of your collection and we're 
really interested.
