(Nearest to “red” so far) 
We hasten to admit that truly crimson red African 
Violets aren’t to be had but this one is the nicest we’ve 
seen. Red King holds its color and makes a compact 
plant. When grown in a sunny window the foliage 
shows unusual darkness! 
As in the past, we have looked carefully at all the 
“newer” reds that have been named, and we still be- 
lieve that Red King outdistances all others. The pic- 
ture above shows its neat growing habit, and it is easy 
to bloom, with six and more buds and flowers per 
stalk, held well above the foliage. Red King holds its 
color evenly (remember, it’s not a fireman’s red), and 
young plants are covered with claret-to-wine good 
sized flowers. Very aristocratic!
