SAINTPAULIAS 
The African Violet has become Ameri- 
ca’s favorite for the home and office be- 
cause of its compact growth and free 
blooming habit. It blooms almost continu- 
ousiy when proper care is given. 
Keep them in a temperature of not 
less than 65 or 70 degrees Fahrenheit in a 
well ventilated room without a draft. Give 
as much light as the leaves will take with- 
out burning. If too little light is given the 
plants will not grow or bloom. However, 
the plants should never be exposed to sun- 
light when the foliage is wet. When water- 
ing, use water of room temperature and 
water when the surface of the soil feels dry 
to the touch. Do not allow plants to stand in 
water for a long period of time. WIK-FED 
pots may be used. Established plants should be fed with a good well balanced 
fertilizer (we recommend Plant Marvel) about once every other month. Be 
careful not to over fertilize which can ruin your plants. 
We recommend a potting mixture made up of 2 parts dirt, 2 parts leaf 
mold or peat, 1 part sand and 1 part Terra Lite (Vermiculite). 
Sodium Selenate placed in the soil will protect your plants against Cycla- 
men Mite and other insects. (See page 22 for Kapsulate). In using Sodium 
Selenate use carefully and according to instructions. 
NOTICE: All of our Violet plants are shipped in either 2% or 3 inch pots, 
and are generally in bud or bloom when shipped. Due to danger of freezing, 
no violets will be shipped during the months of December, January and Febru- 
ary. Orders received during these months are acknowledged and booked for 
shipment in April or as soon as weather permits. Violets are shipped during 
the months of November and March according to weather conditions. 
ON ALL ORDERS FOR VIOLETS PLEASE ENCLOSE 25c FOR SPE- 
CIAL HANDLING WHICH WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO HELP INSURE 
SAFER ARRIVAL OF YOUR PLANTS. 
NOTE: By girl foliage we mean a scalloped leaf which has a white spot 
of varying size at the base of the leaf where the petiole joins the leaf.
