*2-tone “red” 
* Captivating 
*Large flowers 
The two uppermost blossoms in the accurate photo- 
graph above will tell you more than words can describe. 
When I first saw this variety I thought of “Pansy-Puss.” 
It’s clean cut and adorable and a very good bloomer, 
with outstanding foliage. | 
The lower petals are mostly a dark orchid I’d say, but 
with a permanent red-garnet edging at the outside tip. 
The two upper petals are solid in tone with the same 
velvety dark red-garnet coloring and it does not fade out. 
Something new in African Violets! 
This captivating pansy-like flower has an endearing 
personality and a warm and unassuming nature, and the 
two colors have an instant appeal. No other like it. Easy 
to grow... lots of flowers. 
African Violets are just the gift when you want to say “I’m thinking of you.” 
A hundred kindly thoughts will not register like one actual gift of plants 
such as we furnish. Gift wrapped and guaranteed to please!
