RED KING 
$2.50 
(Nearest to “re 
”” so tar) 
We hasten to admit that truly crimson red African 
Violets aren’t to be had but this one is the nicest we’ve 
seen. Red King holds its color and makes a compact 
plant. When grown in a sunny window the foliage shows 
unusual darkness! 
As in the past, we have looked carefully at all the 
“newer” reds that have been named, and we still believe 
that Red King outdistances all others. The picture above 
shows its neat growing habit, and it is easy to bloom, with 
six and more buds and flowers per stalk, held well above 
the foliage. Red King holds its color evenly (remember, 
it’s not a fireman’s red), and young plants are covered 
with claret-to-wine good sized flowers. Very aristocratic!
