I was interested in this book long before it was 
printed, for Mr. Free is one of the associate edi- 
tors of “10,000 Garden Questions Answered” . 
a book which I consider a gold mine of practical 
information for an amateur gardener. But going 
back to Mr. Free’s “All About African Violets,” 
it was written about plants Mr. Free took care of 
himself. Every problem you are likely to meet 
under home conditions is taken care of. Non-technical and very 
humorous. You’re sure to enjoy his droll observations of some 
of the varieties “discussed” .. . 69 pages worth! Collectors . 
don’t miss this book. Includes 111 photographs on varieties, 
propagation; 28 color drawings Yes, this big book contains 
304 pages!
