“INTRODUCTION 
LACY GIRL 
$3.25 
(fringed purple) 
The African Violet Magazine (December 1950 
issue) had this to say about this startling “break” 
among single-type varieties: “LACY GIRL has a 
deep purple flower that appears to be a perfect 
circle, with each petal so curled at the edge it gives 
the impression of a fringe. The leaves are smooth 
and the same effect edges each leaf.” 
There was just one lone plant of LACY GIRL 
displayed at the African Violet Society’s 1950 
Philadelphia Convention, and experienced colectors 
really raised a fuss about it. You can see the 
above picture does not completely do this novelty 
justice because it had been used for hybridizing 
(if you look closely you can see the seed pods), and 
some of the most beautiful leaves had been remov- 
ed for propagation. 
This rare gem is offered for the first time; 
supply is limited so only the earliest orders will be 
assured of a plant. We reserve the right to limit 
the quantity of purchase without advance corres- 
pondence.
