BLUE HEIRESS: Spectacular 212” flowers of brilliant blue 
which will make your collection the envy of the neighbor- 
hood! The heavily scalloped foliage has pencil-thick stems 
which grow in perfect rosette form. You will receive many 
astonished and envious compliments for its strong husky 
appearance and grandiose flower stalks! $2.00 
BLUE KNIGHT: A free-blooming violet that we like to sell 
for it has easy-to-pack supple foliage, and we get lots of 
plants from each leaf cutting. It’s priced low too! Flowers 
same color, almost same size as Blue Heiress; the leaves are 
dark and handsome, with neat growing habit. $1.50 
CLIMBING African Violet ‘‘Grotei’’: T’was found in 
dense shade in Africa, and requires good drainage. Leaf 
and stems are not brittle! Will definitely make a trailing or 
a climbing plant and it blooms too! Small flowers in clusters, 
light blue shaded darker in the center. $2.75 
EDITH CAVELL: Delicate pastel blend of mauve-lavender 
and pearl, daintily ruffled and frilled at the petal edges . 
perfect fully rounded form . . . luscious coloring . . . this is 
the new creation that brought me back again and again to 
beg for ‘‘just one more plant ... for our African Violet 
Show in November . . .”’ when I visited the greenhouses of 
the hybridizers of a new series of frilled seedlings! See 
page 4! $3.25 
FROSTY: We had a limited supply of Frosty with those 
creamy-yellow and chartreuse variegated leaves, and we 
described it in our Spring 1953 catalog. It took us till 
October to fill those orders! A prize-winner at the National 
Convention; flowers are white and blue. This is a true 
connoisseur’s variety. Reserve your plant now, we'll ship 
orders in rotation early Spring, subject to stock. $4.00
