AFRICAN VIOLET Cardinal Giant 
The finest near-red color which we have been 
able to find. There is definitely no real red (or 
yellow) African Violets. As shown in the 
illustration, the color is best described as 
a wine or burgundy red or if you prefer 
ared-violet. Perhaps some day we will 
have a really red or scarlet colored 
variety but that is doubtless well in 
the future so at present Cardinal ; 
Giant is the nearest to that color. “i 
Extra large flowers and robust habit & 
of growth make this variety 
outstanding among the 
many now being offered. 
We feel sure you will 
like it.
