African Violets--Unusual House Plants 
Spring 1955 List 
AED 
All plants are state inspected and shipped in pots. Small plants are a4 and 3 
inches tall. These ship best and keep on growing. Give other varieties in which 
you are interested, if plants are smaller than usual I include an extra plant or a 
larger size. Leaves rooted and potted the same as small plants, add 15¢ to price of 
fresh cut leaves. In all plant orders of $10.00 or over (no supplies) I will in- 
clude extra plants or cuttings or both. 
Many other varieties are available in too small quantities to list. ‘Ask about 
any others you are interested in. Any questions on varieties will be answered if 
stamp is enclosed. Substitutions will be made unless instructions are to the con- 
trary. 
An extra list of later varieties will be ready in mid-summer. Send stamp with 
request for list. 
Due to the increased parcel post rates I cannot continue to sell plants for 75¢ 
and pay parcel post fee so every order must be accompanied by a mailing fee of 75¢ 
for insured parcel post or $1.00 for Special Handling or Special Delivery. State 
which you desire. No orders sent without mailing fee. 
Directions for finding Flower Haven - 5 miles west of Freeport on Route U.S. 20, 
turn north (right), a mile, first house on the right. 
DOUBLE PINKS - Bountiful and Ulery's Pink Victory will be released about May lst. 
Small plants and rooted leaves of Tonkadale's Double Pinks and Peter's Dresden avail- 
able early fall. Sizes and prices available only if you send a stamped addressed 
card after May lst. 
Newer releases from the leading hybridizers will be available - ask about sizes and 
prices in those you are interested.
