FRINGETTE SERIES 
“Fringette’” series of African Violets is a new and ex- 
citing strain, a result of crossing selected single seed- 
lings with the best Hybrid Double. The principal 
characteristic of this series is the distinctive “wavy” or 
“frilled” appearance of the blossoms. 
The foliage of the “Fringettes” is also “wavy” and 
“frilled,” relatively small, and has quite pliable stems, 
a factor of great importance to the commercial grower. 
The Fringettes have been seen in our greenhouses by 
many of the largest and most outstanding commercial 
growers of Saintpaulias, as well as many of the leading 
amateur fanciers and collectors. They have been en- 
thusiastically acclaimed by all who have seen them as 
the outstanding contribution to new Saintpaulia varie- 
ties in recent years. 
We offer the following six Fringette varieties:
