Dear Violet Friends and Customers: 
With the ever-increasing popularity and interest of the 
African violet, we feel it is our duty as commercial grow- 
ers to help and direct our customers to a better and more 
thorough knowledge of their culture and care. For this 
specific reason, we have devoted several pages of instruc- 
tions on care of the violets in your home, in the back of 
this catalog. 
Within the past it has been our proud and humble 
privilege to ship plants from our greenhouses to every 
state in the U.S.A., Canada, Bermuda, Canal Zone, Cuba, 
Costa Rica, Hawaii, Mexico, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and 
Central America. Thus has spread the great interest and 
pleasure that the African violet has created. 
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
PLEASE PRINT IN CAPITAL LETTERS, YOUR FULL 
NAME AND STREET ADDRESS, ALSO CITY AND STATE. 
Please include 75¢ minimum charge on all plant orders. 
This is due to the ever-increasing postal costs. Rather 
than increase our plant prices to a point that would make 
your violet hobby an expensive luxury, we have in many 
cases lowered prices. Our greatly increased production 
on all good standard and new varieties have made this 
possible. 
When ordering, please.send money order or personal 
check. No C.O.D.’s. 
Canadian customers must secure import permit from 
your Department of Agriculture and forward to us with 
order. Postage at your cost. All orders out of U.S.A. are 
sent air mail, postage at your cost. 
IF YOUR ORDER ARRIVES DAMAGED OR CRUSHED: 
Report immediately to your postal clerk or department 
and have a bad order report written. We can place no 
damage claim without this. Please be prompt in doing 
this on arrival of damaged order. Send this report along 
with your complaint and a prompt adjustment or replace- 
ment will be made. Postal department does not recognize 
any frozen claims. There is no insurance to protect a loss 
of this kind, only damaged and broken claims are 
recognized. 
We ship the year round, orders acknowledged and 
booked during freezing weather. Allow a reasonable time 
for delivery. All accessories are sent postpaid. 
All plants are shipped from our greenhouses in 2’ clay 
pots. Plants are 3 to 5” high of young, vigorous, clean 
stock. Please do not mistake our well established growing 
plants in pots for rooted cuttings. We ship only well 
established plants ready to bloom. When ordering— 
please state a second choice preference. With the large 
variety selection certain popular varieties are sometimes 
scarce. Rather than ship another plant of our choice, we 
prefer you mention second choice. Many times prices are 
subject to change without notice, and we may use these 
substitutes to give you the lower price benefit.
