SCARLET 
UAE VIOLET 
(Episcia _ Coccinea). Many people 
think this is the ‘‘most beautiful 
house plant in the world.’”’ The flow- 
ers are a brilliant scarlet, contrasting 
vividly with what are probably the 
most gorgeous leaves of any house 
plant. They are broad, thick and 
plush-like, and of a deep bronze- 
green color with veinings of bright 
emerald green. No. 2N7—1.98 each; 
3 for 5.40, postpaid.

Gorgeous 
A Fulle@ifray of the Most Beautifu 
of All House Plants 
Ever since we first offered the 
Scarlet Flame Violet in our 
1953 catalog, our customers have 
been asking for other varieties 
of this beautiful and different 
family of house plants. We are 
happy to offer you now a total 
of six varieties. 
Each variety is dramatically 
different in the color, markings 
and texture of the leaves. All 
have flowers of bright red ex- 
cepting one, ‘‘Blue Flame,’’ 
which has flowers of soft sky- 
blue. 
“Flame Violets’ are as easy 
to grow as African Violets. In 
fact, they are close cousins. 
They grow much alike, and re- 
quire much the same 
care—plenty of light, but 
no direct sun, and a 
warm temperature. But 
and, if you desire, you 
can train them over the 
pot, along the window 
sill, on a plastic trellis, 
or from a hanging bas-
