3 EASY ACHIMENES 
Here is easy and long blossom brilliance 
in the Gloxinia reminder, but with flowers 
smaller, more numerous, more graceful in 
form and carriage, and with intensifica- 
tion of velvety colorings. Lavender and 
violet will dominate, but there will be 
variations into blue, purple and mauve, 
with sometimes a white, a rosy pink, a 
crimson. In constant bloom from late 
spring until well into autumn. Fine in pots, 
or will make wonderful display in a win- 
dow or porch box that receives a bit of 
shade. Does well in the open garden, too, 
if grown in rich soil and given light shade, 
yielding some four months of bloom. The 
tubers can be dug in autumn and stored in 
dry sand over winter. Illustrated opposite. 
ACHIMENES TUBERS—Available in fine 
mixture as color-described above. Tubers are small by their 
nature, but some kinds and colorings make always smaller 
tubers than do others, so a good color mixture will have 
some tubers much larger than others. Supplied packed in 
peat moss and wrapped in wax paper. Plant as soon as pos- 
sible after receipt. 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.40; 30 for $4.00; 
100 for $12.50. 
ACHIMENES SEEDS—Finest Hybrids. Sow seeds to get new 
varieties and new colorings. The seeds are tiny. ‘‘w’’ culture. 
Pkt. 75c; 3 pkts. for $2.00. 
ANY QUESTIONS or statements requiring answers should 
be on a separate sheet from your order, else filling of the 
order will be unduly delayed, or the questions may even 
be overlooked altogether. Please do not ask questions un- 
less they are really necessary and important, for during 
the rush seasons we are all working long hours and under 
stress, and then it is difficult to keep up with correspondence.

2 AFRICAN VIOLET or SAINTPAULIA* 
Here are exquisites for pot culture, lovely in blossom color- 
ing, velvety in foliage, long in bloom. And remember they 
won’t steal your sunny windows, for they like the shady 
ones, east or even north, far better. 
AFRICAN VIOLETS FROM SEED—w. Seeds saved from 
some twelve fine named kinds in diverse colors, along with 
Ionantha, the species, are in the blend we offer. While the 
seedlings will come dominantly in varied blues, other de- 
lightful colorings should at times appear. It is from seed- 
lings that new varieties come, and technically each seedling 
is a new variety that may be named and propagated individ- 
ually by leaf cuttings if found worthy. African Violets are 
not hard to grow from seed, save for the natural difficulties 
inherent in handling any seeds of dust-like fineness. Order 
as AFRICAN VIOLET AVALON BLEND. Pkt. 60c; 3 pkts. 
for $1.65; 10 pkts. for $5.00. 
PLEASE NOTE —Prices on African Violet plants here 
listed include all postage or other transportation charges. 
No further remittance or postage is needed on them, but 
minimum acceptable order on African Violets is three plants.
