SAINTPAULIAS 
Because of its compact 
growth and free blooming 
habit, the African Violet has 
become America’s favorite 
for the home ‘and office. It 
blooms almost continuously 
but you must take care of 
it 
—It Will Not Stand Neglect. 
We. recommend a potting 
mixture made up of 
Qepartseai. 
2 parts leaf mold 
1 part sand 
de part eer aie 
(Vermiculite) 
They ‘are best watered from the bottom with water which is close to 
room temperature. Besides the kinds listed below, we grow limited quanti- 
ties of numerous other kinds of violets. There is no such thing as a Yellow 
Violet that I know of. Someday there may be one but I feel that it isa 
long way in the future. 
All of our Violet plants are shipped in either 214 or 3 inch pots, and are 
generally in bud or bloom when shipped. African Violets cannot stand 
temperatures much lower than 45 degrees; consequently we will not ship 
Violets during periods of extreme cold. 
FRINGETTES 
The principal characteristic of this series is the distinctive wavy or frilled 
appearance of the blossoms. The foliage is also wavy and frilled. 
DARK BLUE FRINGETTE—Very dark medium sized blue flowers; 
about as dark flowered a violet as we have seen. $2.00 each. 
LIGHT BLUE FRINGETTE—A beautiful shade of light blue. $2.00 each. 
RED LAVENDER FRINGETTE—Bright lavender blooms with a reddish 
east. The best red lavender color we have seen, but it does not show much 
of the fringette characteristic; nevertheless lovely because of its unusual 
color. $2.00 each. 
BLUE LAVENDER FRINGETTE—Large blue lavender flowers—a shade 
not often seen in violets. $2.00 each. 
LIGHT SLEEP FRINGETTE—Very pale mauvette lavender blos- 
soms. The artistically waved blossoms of this delicate color make it the 
Queen of the Fringettes. $2.50 each. 
WHITE FRINGETTE—Medium sized, heavily fringed flowers. In our 
estimation it rates 2nd to the Light Mauvette Fringette in loveliness. $2.50 
each. ss
