$1.35—“HOW TO GROW AFRICAN VIOLETS” 
by Carolyn Rector — 94 pages 
Beginners .. . here is the book for you. Chapter 
2 starts off with “Let us say that an African 
Violet addict offers you a leaf.” .. . and Chapter 
3 commences “so now your leaves have rooted 
nicely” . . . and this book carries you right along 
(neighborly-like) to Chapter 14 on “Grooming 
Plants for the Show Room.” Mrs. Rector has 
filled every page with money-saving ideas; there 
are many clear drawings to guide you. 
$2.95—“THE COMPLETE BOOK OF AFRICAN 
VIOLETS” 
by Helen Van Pelt Wilson — 245 pages 
Instead of revising her first book, Mrs. Wilson has 
written a completely new one, which contains 29 
photographs in full color! Many experts have con- 
tributed to the information presented, and drawings 
added. Collectors interested in exhibiting their 
plants will be interested in the chapter on “Show 
Business and Judging.” 
$3.50—“ALL ABOUT AFRICAN VIOLETS” 
by Montague Free — 304 pages 
I was interested in this book long before it was 
printed, for Mr. Free is one of the associate editors 
of “10,000 Garden Questions Answered” . . . a book 
which I consider a gold mine of practical informa- 
tion for an amateur gardener. But going back to 
Mr. Free’s “ALL ABOUT AFRICAN VIOLETS,” 
it was written about plants Mr. Free took care of 
himself. Every problem you are likely to meet under 
home conditions is taken care of. Non-technical and very humor- 
ous. You’re sure to enjoy his droll observations of some of the 
varieties “discussed” . . . 69 pages worth! Collectors .. . don’t 
miss this book. Includes 111 photographs on varieties, propaga- 
tion; 28 color drawings. Yes, this big book contains 304 pages!
