2 AFRICAN VIOLET or SAINTPAULIA 
Here are exquisites for pot culture, lovely in blossom color- 
ing, velvety in foliage, long in bloom. And remember they 
won’t steal your sunny windows, for they like the shady 
ones, east or even north, far better. 
AFRICAN VIOLETS FROM SEED—w. Seeds saved from 
fine named sorts in diverse colorings, from special hand-made 
crosses, and from Ionantha, the species, are in the blend we 
offer. While the seedlings will come dominantly in varied 
blues, other delightful colorings should at times appear. It 
is from seedlings that new varieties come, and technically each 
seedling is a new variety that may be named and propagated 
individually by leaf cuttings, if found worthy. African Violets 
are not hard to grow from seed, save for the natural diffi- 
culties inherent in handling any seeds of dust-like fineness. 
Order as AFRICAN VIOLET AVALON BLEND. Pkt. 75c; 
3 pkts. for $2.00; 10 pkts. for $6.00.
