TIPS ON GROWING AFRICAN VIOLETS 
—10c if ordered separately! with plant order 5c. 
POTTING SOIlL—Have your soil all mixed and sterilized ready to use before you ever order your violets. Here is our formula: 2 parts 
woods earth with lots of old leafmold in it; add a half-part screened peatmoss if there is not enough humus in woods earth; 1 part 
sharp sand; 1 part (scanted) screened, old rotted cow manure. For each 4” pot of this mixture, add 1 teaspoon bonemeal, 1 teaspoon 
superphospate, few spoons crushed charcoal. Moisten this mixture well before sterilizing as moisture will help carry heat through 
evenly. Sterilize at low temperature until a medium-sized potato in middle of mixture is done; if in oven, at 200 degrees or less (about 
as low as oven will operate); if in pressure cooker. at 5 pounds pressure; if steamed by setting pan of soil in larger pan of little water, 
you won’t need to worry about degrees. Heating humus in soil-mix buiids up excess nitrates, so do not us i 
and aerate it frequently by rippling your fingers through it. ; Use.soil for ‘ati leas tees abours
