“FANTASY” is SPOTTED, RAYED AND SPLASHED WITH COLOR. It 
is a revolutionary new break in accepted standards of African Violet 
coloring. Developed at Beltsville, Maryland it is being studied by 
many agricultural colleges and horticultural laboratories because of its 
almost continually sporting habit. Its rich beauty and fine growth 
habits have captivated every grower and fancier who has seen it.

THE MOST SENSATIONAL VIOLET 
WE HAVE EVER OFFERED 
Here is the violet that will be talked about for years to come! The photograph 
at the left doesn’t begin to do it justice. Its splendid coloring must be seen to 
be appreciated. Imagine the palest red-orchid background and then add 
SPOTS, RAYS AND SPLASHES of deep, deep red-violet. Each blossom displays 
a new pattern of color. The throat of the flower shades into a rich extremely 
red-violet from which the yellow anthers protrude in dazzling contrast. It is 
the most amazing violet we have ever offered. “FANTASY” is our nomination 
for the “Violet of the Year.” Leaves are very dark green and trimly tapered. 
The plant itself is strong-growing, free-blooming and holds its blooms for an 
unusually long time. Every serious collector will want 
“Fantasy” and even the casual violet grower will be capti- § 50 
vated by its spectacular beauty. We are fortunate in having 
the only large supply in America.

BLUE-EYED BEAUTY 
A FASCINATING BLUE AND WHITE BLOSSOM! 
Blue-eyed Beauty is another striking, new. multi-colored violet that fol- . 
lows in the tradition of Lady Geneva and Fantasy. Its large-sized 
blossoms of glistening white have a DISTINCTIVE BLUE EDGE ANDA 
DEEP BLUE CENTER. It is a violet of sparkling contrasts in color and 
texture. The brilliant blue and white blossoms are set against the 
clearest, almost emerald-green leaves imaginable! This stunning new 
introduction met with great praise at the African Violet Convention. 
It has taken several years to build up a sufficient stock of Blue-Eyed 
Beauty to make it generally available. It is a sturdy 
grower and carries many blooms to each stalk. Ss | ig

Frilled, Lacy Petals Like 
the Trimming of an 
Old-Fashioned Petticoat 
A 1951 introduction. This is the daintiest, most lady-like violet of 
all! Its blossom is another of those new multi-colored introductions. 
Picture a clear white flower with a border around each petal in aris- 
tocratic orchid color! These stunning blossoms are carried high above 
fine foliage. You can’t imagine a more appealing and refreshing 
combination! This is one of the latest violets to come from the 
hybridizers . . . and we think one of the finest. $925 
You'll want it in your collection. 
This is a violet that deserves everything that could be said about it 
. .. the shape of the blossom and its extremely lovely and decora- 
tive edging is wonderfully ornamental. The photograph above 
doesn’t do it full justice. The color is deep, black-violet, intense 
and satisfying and the ruffled edge catches the light and makes it 
sparkle almost like cut-glass. You MUST own Lacy 
Girl. Leaves are wavy like the Fringettes. Because of 
the extremely brittle and succulent nature of the 
plant we can ship LEAVES ONLY
