Ked 
King 
* Deepest red so far 
*Holds its color 
*A profuse bloomer 
$2.25 
We hasten to admit that truly crimson red African 
Violets aren’t to be had but this one is the nicest we’ve 
seen. Red King holds its color and makes a compact 
plant. When grown in a sunny window the foliage shows 
unusual darkness! 
As in the past, we have looked carefully at all the 
“newer” reds that have been named, and we still believe 
that Red King outdistances all others. The picture above 
shows its neat growing habit, and it is easy to bloom, 
with eight and more buds and flowers per stalk, held 
well above the foliage. Red King holds its color evenly 
(remember, it’s not a fireman’s red), and young plants 
are covered with claret-to-wine good sized flowers. Very 
aristocratic! 
We sell new varieties for those who want the latest sorts and also the exquisite 
kinds that are just a few years older which have stood the test of time, and 
priced lower. You can rely on our descriptions!

Your packing was just grand, and my plants arrived yesterday. They were so mice 
and fresh that my neighbors would hardly believe they came from such a distance.”
