It has been brought to our attention through the | m Y v D 
Grapevine that some people that have bought Yellow Brown | 
Girl are changing the name and selling leaves as a Yellow ~ FEB 1 5’ 
Violet. You all know and we know that we did every thing) ys peparsnt of Agricu 
possible to describe this variety as it is, and the purpose. pat A eae 
for which it was put on the market. uvery Violet I have 
ee out has been in DLOOM, and the person selling leaves 
for a Yellow Viclet know's what color it is and I don't want ~- 
Bea: coming back on me for some one elses misrepresentation, 
therefore we are reducing the price to $2.50 éach retail or 
in lots of twelve({12) wholesale at wl. 0O each, It is too 
late to change aa in african Violet lhiagazine, so it will be 
advertised in next issue for $5.00 which you will please 
disregard. : 
According to Dictionary of Colors Maerz. & Paul offical 
color chart this flower corresponds to Plate 12 L3 or Lk, 
the color name being Pyrite Yellow or Sulphine Yellow of 
course when a person thinks of a yellow, they think of a 
lemon yellow or Sulphure Yellow but lots of violets are 
called red and you are accept ing this and really the red 
are a reddish purple as there is no really red African 
Violet, So we consider ourseives within our rights naming 
this Yellow Brown Girl and don't think that some of you 
people are justified in some of the remarks you are making, 
We are taking some of these plants to Ohio State 
University for this classification to color. 
We will not replace any more orders of Yeliow Brown 
Girl unless they are damaged in transit and returned 
within 24 hours. Sometimes through the shipping of 
Yellow Brown Girl it will loose it's color, but that will 
come back as this is not a White african Violet and it 
has not been chemically treated.
