The newest varieties that are available are on this list. Do 
NOT write us about any that are not listed. We only mail 
lists upon request and new up-to-date lists will be available 
about every two months, which we will mail to you. 
Since there is a possibility that we may be temporarily out 
of some varieties, we request that you name at least two 
possible substitutions in the same price bracket when you 
order. We always send the best plants available at the time 
shipment is made in the varieties ordered. Our plants are 
guaranteed true to name, as always. 
We are not in a position to answer questions relative to 
culture of violets as our mail is too heavy for this. There 
are many good books on the market which will give you the 
information you desire. We have in stock, Helen VanPelt 
Wilson’s book, which we consider the best available — 
Price: $2.95 Postpaid. 
The 214” are fine plants for growing on, not in bloom. 
The 3” are in bud and bloom. We do not ship the plants 
in pots but we do guarantee that they will arrive to you 
in good condition or we will replace them. 
We make shipments during the winter as weather will 
permit, but never ship during severe cold spells. For winter 
shipments we have a special pack which almost always 
assures safe delivery without frost damage, except in cases 
of extreme negligence or delay. If the plants are damaged 
by frost return them immediately and we'll replace them. 
“Virdans AFRICAN VIOLETS 
are the healthiest, 
most beautiful I’ve 
ever found.”
