We have a supply of this rare and beautiful violet (Saintpaulia 
Grotei). This is the violet that has excited the plant world 
for several years, but has been in such short supply that only 
the fortunate few and those willing to bid fabulous prices have 
been able to obtain them. We have several hundred plants 
for sale. While they last we can offer them in 21-inch pots 
for $3.00 each. We advise early ordering on them.
