entire year, bearing in profusion lovely pur- 
ple flowers with golden centers. Each, 79c.

ilar to Blue Boy, but the leaves are heart- 
shaped and each leaf has an ivory white 
marking at leaf axil. Each, 78c. 
DU PONT BLUE—This variety has a com- 
pact method of growth. The rather round 
heart-shaped leaves are thick, with deeply 
toothed edges and grow quite large. The 
flowers are very large and held well above 
the foliage in clusters of°2 to 5. The color 
is a rich deep purple. Each, $1.50.

as above except for its lovely pink color.

age is the same as Blue Boy. It has deep 
purple flowers with from 8 to 20 petals. The 
backs of the blossoms are sometimes nearly 
white and often lack stamens. The blossoms 
are fastened to their stems in such a way 
they do not fall but must be picked off. This 
variety is also probably sold under the name 
of rete Blue Boy or Double Russian. Each, 
LADY GENEVA—An exciting new addition 
to this ever popular house plant. Lady Ge- 
neva is not only new but decidedly different. 
Its pure white twinkling edge on a solid 
blue flower gives it an entirely new quality.

the whole plant is compact and well formed 
with bright green foliage. Certainly this va- 
riety is a “must” for all African Violet 
lovers. Each, $1.49. 
MERKLES RED—Now considered to be the 
reddest variety of African violet, but it is 
not actually red. The color is a deep red- 
plum and decidedly different from other 
“violet”? colors. Foliage grows upward pro- 
ducing a well shaped plant. A splendid addi- 
tion to any collection. Each, $1.39.

quisite pink flowers with yellow stamens.
