WARSAW, NEW YORK 
1955 PRICE LIST OF AFRICAN VIOLET 
ROOTED LEAF CUTTINGS 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE 
ORDERING: 
Prices listed are for rooted leaf cuttings---not clumps of 
small plantlets that are sometimes called “rooted cuttings.” 
Clumps of young plants of most of these brand new 
varieties on this list could not be sold at these prices. How- 
ever, small plants may be formed on some of the varieties 
ordered and the rest should be ready to pot in sterilized 
soil when received and should produce plants in a short 
time. Rooted leaf cuttings ship better than clumps of small 
plants and have less tendency to rot in shipment or after 
being potted. They usually grow sturdier plants and are 
therefore, we think, a better bargain for the price. 
All orders are sent by first class mail to speed delivery. 
Airmail is 35c extra up to a $5.00 order and Sc more for 
each $1.00 of the order above that. No orders are accepted 
under $3.00 and on orders below $5.00 please add 50c 
for postage and packing. Please let us know if we can send 
fresh cut leaves if we are out of any variety in rooted leaf 
cuttings. We send extra leaves of new introductions in 
such cases to compensate.

PLEASE NOTE: 
All orders are shipped as soon as possible but shortages 
of come varieties may cause delay. Please name substitutes 
whenever possible. We do not substitute unless absolutely 
necessary and then we include extra cuttings of new 
varieties as compensation. Because of past experience and 
due to the fact that most of you order in the Spring, 
we have decided to concentrate on selling by mail in order 
to serve everybody better and more fairly. We should be 
able to get Spring orders out much faster this way. Our 
shipping season begins about April 15th. The sooner your 
order is received, the sooner it will go out after this date. 
No rooted leaf cuttings will be shipped during winter 
and cold months. Orders received during November, De- 
cember and January will be acknowledged and booked for 
Spring shipment. Orders received at other times will not 
be acknowledged, since it takes us away from shipping 
orders. Your cancelled check, etc., must serve as acknew- 
ledgment on Spring orders while Summer and Fall orders 
are usually shipped within a week or ten days. Our ship- 
ping season ends about November Ist.

IMPORTANT! This price list is complete and is 
effective until March 1956. If I have any list of price 
changes printed before then, I will send you a copy. Since 
my mail is very heavy, especially in the Spring, it is best 
not to write me, unless it is very important. If you have 
occasion to write me, or to request a new list or next year’s 
list, please state that you have list 55 RA.
