PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
Please print your full Name and Street Address, 
also City and State, in Capital Letters on all orders. 
Because of ever-increasing postal costs, please add 45c on 
all plant orders amounting to $3.00 or less. On all orders 
of over $3.00, add 65c; west of the Mississippi, add 85c. 
Rather than increase our prices on individual plants to the 
point that would make your Violet hobby an expensive 
luxury, we have in many cases lowered our prices. Our 
greatly increased production of all good standard and new 
varieties has made this possible. All plants are grown at 
our greenhouses, with a capacity of over 200,000 plants. 
When ordering, send a money order or a personal check. 
No C.O.D.’s, please. 
To our Canadian customers: Secure an import permit 
from your Department of Agriculture and forward it to us 
with your order. Postage at your expense. All orders from 
outside the United States are sent Air Mail, postage at your 
expense. 
If your order arrives damaged or crushed: Report 
immediately to your postal clerk or department and have a 
bad order report filled out. We can place no damage claim 
without it. Please be prompt in doing this on arrival of a 
damaged order. Send the report along with your complaint, 
and a prompt adjustment or replacement will be made. 
The 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 honored. 
We ship the year round when possible. During freezing 
weather orders are acknowledged and booked. Allow a 
reasonable time for delivery. All accessories are sent post- 
paid. 
All plants are shipped from our greenhouses in 2-in. clay 
pots. They are young, vigorous, clean stock, 3 to 5 in. high. 
Please do not mistake our well-established growing plants 
in pots for rooted cuttings. We ship only plants that are 
ready to bloom. When ordering, state a second choice for 
each variety. With our large selection of varieties, certain 
popular kinds sometimes become scarce. Rather than ship 
another plant of our own choice, we prefer you to mention 
a second choice. Many times prices are subject to change 
without notice, and we may use these substitutes to give 
you the lower price benefit.

SUGGESTIONS 
FOR THE CARE OF AFRICAN VIOLETS 
The African Violet is one of the easiest house plants to 
grow in today’s light, modern, thermostatically controlled 
homes. Its popularity is due in large part to its free blooming 
ability. Upon receiving a fresh order of plants, you are likely 
to have many questions about the best care that can be given 
to keep them in healthy blooming condition. May we make 
the following suggestions:

Plants are usually received in 2-in. clay pots and should 
remain in them for 10 days or longer, until they have become
