LIST NO. 1 ; 1953-54 
DEAR VIOLET GROWER: 
“The Golden Greenhouses” was organized to produce and sell the best in African Violets. Our first list is pre- 
sented with names only to save time in issuing the list. We had intended to mail it in September, but delays in organ- 
ization and printing has made it later. It is hoped that a master list, with descriptions, may be prepared in the near 
future. 
We are still in the building stage. Our showroom has just been completed and is open to the public. Our basement 
is complete, while our greenhouse is just a pile of boxes and bundles on the ground. We hope to have it erected by 
Thanksgiving. We will then have space to grow more African Violets and other pot plants. 
We have many more varieties on hand than those listed in the list, some of the newer ones are on hand, but we 
have not been able to re-adjust our list to include them. If there are any old or new varieties you just have to have, 
let us know; perhaps we can find it for you. 
POLICY 
LEAF ORDERS: All leaf prices are for leaves freshly removed from healthy plants. Please include 50¢ for postage 
for all orders under $5.00. We will pay the postage on all orders over $5.00 for retail orders. We will sell wholesale in 
quantity to dealers only. If you wish rooted leaves add 15¢ to each leaf price and specify rooted leaves. If you wish us 
to substitute similar or better varieties please send extra names with your list. 
POT PLANT ORDERS: The price following the leaf name is the price for 214” pots or larger. Pot plants will be 
shipped parcel post or Railway Express, all charges to be paid by the customer. We will ship leaves and pot plants on 
Mondays and Fridays, so that they will not arrive to lay in your postoffice over a week-end. 
A complete line of supplies will be maintained to help you grow better African Violets. If you have a special 
problem, or desire something different in fertilizers, labels, or supplies please write. We have all the scientific train- 
ing necessary, and most of the experience needed to help with your problems.
