Before you buy and plant African Violet seed we believe that you should 
know the following facts: 
1. Almost all African Violet plants are hybrids, and thus do not grow 
100% true from seed. 
@. Some plant characteristics will tend to overpower others, and thus 
will appear more often in seedlings. 
3. You can expect to get plants showing some of the characteristics of 
the plant upon which the seed was grown. You may have to grow many plants from 
seed to get the selection of characteristics you desire. 
At the present time we have about 125 different African Violet varieties, 
and we are growing seed on most of them. Our supply of some kinds of seed may 
be limited, or we may be temporarily sold out. However, if you will send us a 
card, we will let you know just what seeds we have available at that time. At 
this time we can furnish the following seeds in limited quantity. We are asking 
$1.00 for 200 seeds from the following varieties.

Tinted Lady Orchid Girl We also have seed 
DuPont Lavender Lady Heavenly Blue from an unnamed 
hiyrtle Red Land blue-white bi-color

Regarding seed from double flowered varieties, at present our supply is 
very limited. (We have seed coming on which has not yet matured). We can offer 
seed from Double Sea Girl crossed with a single flowered blue-white bi-color. 
We are asking $1.00 for 100 seeds of this cross. 
If you are interested in seed from specific varieties, we would appre- 
ciate your letting us know and we will attempt to furnish you with the seed you 
wish. As for furnishing customers with specific crosses of two varieties, we 
will attempt to make specific crosses if we have the varieties available, How 
ever, it takes from six to eight months from the time the cross is made until 
the seed is ready to be planted. We would charge $1.00 for 100 seeds produced 
under these circumstances. 
Our mixed seed, which we are selling at $1.00 for approximately 300 
seeds, actually contains seed from more than 50 different varieties.
