pofrican Violets 
For the past fourteen years we have specialized in the growing and 
hybridizing of Gloxinias. During this time we found that many Gloxinia 
enthusiasts were also ardent African Violet admirers, so four years ago 
we started our collection of African Violets. Since the Gloxinia and 
African Violet are members of the same plant family, Gesneriaceae, it 
seems particularly appropriate that we grow both of them. 
Our Violet collection now includes over 200 varieties, and as new 
ones are introduced which we feel are distinctly different or better than 
existing varieties we will plan to grow them and offer them to you. 
There is already too much duplication among African Violet varieties. 
We have listed only those which have proven to be excellent varieties in 
our greenhouse, and which we consider to be distinctive in one or more 
characteristics. 
All our merchandise is guaranteed to arrive in good condition and be 
true to name. Your satisfaction is our goal and greatest pleasure.
