In Closing . 
An African Violet in bloom is a ne of beauty! I wish I could 
convince everyone that what you need first is a healthy plant to 
begin with, then more of you would quickly discard those “old pets” 
that have been acquired in other “house plants” ... your limited 
indoor gardening space is much too important rol waste on non- 
blooming scrawny specimens! 
At one time I had such an assortment in my own home, when 
all houseplants were welcome. One by one I discarded them for 
good reasons, and suddenly I was “bitten by the violet bug” and 
what had been a perfectly good hobby blossomed into a full time 
business! Our oldest customers will recall that we’ve moved three 
times in five years, but are here to stay now, on Moravian Drive. 
We are sure that visitors will enjoy seeing their African Violets 
growing in our new greenhouse. No sales on Sunday for that is 
“church and family day” with us always. 
Since we cannot ship plants during winter wens, all orders 
received in the winter will be put on record and we will commence 
mailing plants starting mid-April or so. Whenever the weather 
in Detroit is above 40°. Since we would have to replace at our 
expense any that arrive damaged, you can understand our caution. 
Earlier shipments will be made at customer’s insistence . . . and 
risk. But it takes so long to grow a nice plant, we hope you will 
allow us to select the proper shipping time to your area. 
The non-perishables like soil, etc., will be mailed in any weather.
