We specialize in African Violets and Gloxinia. The GOOD 
ones. Varieties that are outstanding as a result of year's of 
cross hybridization of the better kinds. New color com- 
binations and unusual foliage, and many choice double- 
Bo ree varieties are the latest thing in violets nowa-

We sell new varieties for those who want the latest sorts, 
and we have the exquisite kinds that are just a few years

ful indoor window garden that will add to the enjoyment 
of your home. A real treat is in store for you if you have
