GIRL VARIETIES 
All African Violet enthusiasts who have seen it are very fond of the 
“Girl” type foliage. Their grace and beauty is difficult to describe. 
They have large zones of creamy white at the base of the leaf, edges 
are deeply “pinked”, veins are very dark and entire leaf is heart- 
shaped. The whole quality of the plant is changed by this loveliest 
of foliages. It must be seen to be appreciated. 
LACY GIRL—This plant attracted much attention at the Violet 
Convention. The flowers are gigantic, very dark blue and are 
HEAVILY WAVED AND FRILLED and DEEPLY TOOTHED. The leaf 
is variegated, with a creamy-white zone at the leaf base, and WAVED 
AND FRILLED also. It is similar to the Fringettes but with the girl 
type leaf and a dark blue flower. You'll be as thrilled as the 
Convention members were with this 1951 introduction........ $2.75
