a 
BLUE WARRIOR. a superior variety much better 
than most of the older well known “violets.’’ Has 
large flowers of a beautiful medium blue shade and 
the sleek handsome dark green foliage is ‘‘red’’ on 
the reverse side. 
Each, $1. a 
‘CALIFORNIA DARK PLUM. A new variety in the 
so-called “‘red’’ shades. Best described as a deep plum 
ae red, it is considered very desirable and one of the best 
of its color. Flowers are large, well formed and pro- 
- duced freely on a compact, shapely plant. An acquisi- 
tion to anyone’s collection. 
Each, $1.98. 
CARDINAL GIANT. The finest near-red color which 
we have been able to find. There is definitely no real 
red (or yellow) African Violet. The color is best de- 
scribed as a wine or burgundy red or if you prefer, 
a red-violet. Perhaps some day we will have a really 
red or scarlet colored variety but that is doubtless well 
in the future so at present Cardinal Giant is the near- 
est to that color. Extra large flowers and robust habit 
of growth make this variety outstanding among the 
many now being offered. We feel sure you will like it. 
Each, $1.79. °

NEW and GIANT FLOWERING VARIETIES 
Bronze Girl 
BRONZE GIRL. Beautiful and different. The large 
flowers are orchid red in color and produce freely. The 
most attractive foliage is rounded, with scalloped 
edges and of rich bronze green, enhanced by a light 
creamy spot at base of each leaf, 
Each, $1.49. 
DOUBLE ROSE. A really beautifully double flower 
much like a small rose. The flowers are of extra large 
size, mostly white with a flush of rosy lavender in cen- 
ter, at base of petals. Nice compact habit of growth 
and altogether an unusually good variety. Decidedly 
different and very much worthwhile. 
Each,- $2.39. 
DOUBLE SEA GIRL. Large, double medium blue 
flowers, very freely produced on a well formed plant. 
The beautiful foliage is the typical ‘‘girl’’ type, with 
large, rounded leaves, scalloped at edges and having a 
white spot at the base. A really splendid double 
“violet.” 
Each, $1.98. 
FRINGETTE. Here is the newest type of African 
Violet with fascinating fringed flowers. Instead of 
smooth edged petals, they have fringed and lacinated 
edges which give the blooms an entirely different and 
showy appearance. The plant is all that could be de- 
sired with large, healthy foliage. The colors, as yet, 
are somewhat limited, but we offer you a choice of 
three shades. BLUE, MAUVE, RED. 
Any color: Each, $1.79; 3 for $5.00. 
GENEVA RAINBOW. An offspring of the beautiful 
Lady Geneva with the same nice large flowers and fine 
plant. The color, however, is a burgundy-red, instead 
of blue, but with the same narrow white edge to each 
petal. If you liked Lady Geneva, you will surely like 
this variety also. This picotee-edged type is still un- 
common and one or two specimens, at least, should be 
in every collection, 
Each, $1.98. 
HELEN WILSON. A double flowering girl type varie- 
ty. Distinctive for its large dark purple double flowers 
produced in abundance and last for weeks on good 
strong stems. Heavily fluted girl type leaf with distinct 
creamy spot at base, 
Each, $1.98. 
Heavenly Blue 
HEAVENLY BLUE. Large flowers of a clear powder 
blue. A fairly deep blue but not nearly so dark as 
most “blue”? African violets. A really good color and 
habit of growth makes this variety outstanding. 
Each, 89¢. 
LADY GENEVA. An exciting new addition to this 
ever popular house plant. Lady Geneva is not only 
new but decidedly different. Its pure white twinkling 
edge on a solid blue flower gives it an entirely new qual- 
ity. The flowers are large, beautiful in color and the 
whole plant is compact and well formed with bright 
green foliage. Certainly this variety is a “‘must’’ for 
all African Violet lovers. 
Each, $1.29. 
MENTOR BOY SUPREME. Here is a violet with dis- 
tinct character. The flowers are very large and of a 
rich, velvety deep violet blue, with bright yellow eye. 
There is a glowing quality to this color. Very difficult 
to describe but decidedly noticeable when once seen. 
A dependable free-blooming plant almost in a class 
by itself. 
Each, $1.29.

Orchid Wonder 
ORCHID WONDER. Considered a giant among giant 
flowering varieties with flowers often claimed to be as 
large as a silver dollar. They will surely be much 
larger than a 50¢ piece and the color is a lovely laven- 
der-orchid, somewhat deeper in color around the sta- 
mens and on the two upper petals. Easy to grow and 
a profuse bloomer. A real beauty and a decided acquisi- 
tion to anyone’s éollection. 
Each, $1.79. 
PINK GIRL. A favorite variety for those liking the 
girl type foliage. The individual flowers show off 
beautifully above a neat rosette of scalloped leaves. 
An excellent bloomer with flowers same size and color 
as Pink Beauty. 
Each, $1.69. 
PINK WONDER. There are still not too many good 
pink violets. Pink Wonder, however, appears to be 
about the best to date and has just about every good 
feature. The flowers are extra large, of a lovely clear 
pink color and the plants are strong and healthy. Don’t 
miss this variety if pink is one of your favorite colors. 
Each, $2.48. 
PURITY. The first pure white double flowering vari- 
ety available. Large fully double flowers on good stems 
and the plant is a profuse bloomer. A beautiful “‘vio- 
let”? suppying a long wanted type. 
Each, $2.39. 
RED GIRL HYBRID. A vigorous growing variety of 
the near “red” éolor, actually a plum-red. Beautiful 
_ girl type foliage, crinkled and with large cream spot at 
base of leaf. Worthwhile for the foliage alone. 
Each, $1.98. 
SNOW PRINCE. Absolutely pure white flowers that 
are full, round and of huge size compared to ordinary 
varieties. The well branched stems always carry many 
flowers and buds. If white varieties have heretofore 
proved troublesome, try Snow Prince for full satisfae- 
tion. 
Each, $1.69. 
STAR SAPPHIRE. The somewhat pointed petals of the 
star-shaped flower makes this variety well named. 
The flower, of deep sapphire blue is further enhanced 
by a double set of pistils which create d bright gold 
crest in center. A bit of ruffling at each petal tip adds 
grace to an amazingly large flower on compact plant. 
Each, $1.98.
