Dark Purples 
BLUE WARRIOR — Deep purple flowers above shiny dark foliage make this a 
favorite. 
DEEP BLUE GIRL HYBRID — Rich dark green girl foliage with dark blue to 
purple flowers. 
HILOA COBALT BLUE — Deep blue ruffled bloom. Dark fluted leaves. 
PURPLE KNIGHT — One of our favorites because of its large flowers and good bloom- 
ing habits. Dark foliage and flowers a bit lighter than Purple Prince. 
PURPLE PRINCE — An old variety but still of the best. A rich dark ‘‘violet purple”’ 
with bright yellow stamens. 
Red Purples 
CARIOCA — Flowers are similar to Hildegarde with larger blooms. 
CARMEN — One of the good reds similar to Red King. 
GRAND LADY — Medium “red-purple’’ with the upper petals slightly darker. Foliage 
smooth and spoon type. 
HILDEGARDE — Flowers of this variety are delicately fluted. Medium red-purple. 
Extremely free bloomer. 
INDIONOLA — Difficult to describe but a lavender with a red cast. A dark eye and 
excellent foliage makes this a good collectors item. 
RED KING — We consider this the best of the so called ‘‘reds’’ in violets to date. A 
rich reddish-purple with dark foliage. DO NOT expect a real red, but you should 
have at least one variety of this color grouping. 
RED LADY — Similar to Red King with very attractive girl type foliage. 
RED WING — Light red with a dark eye. Very large growing plant. 
ROBINHOOD — Exceptionally good. One of the darkest red bicolors. 
SUNRISE — Another good red of a lighter shade. One of the best free blooming lighter 
reds. The upper petals are darker. 
WINE VELVET — Very rich color in the so called ‘‘reds’’. Always popular. 
Shades of Lavender 
ATTRACTION — Delicately fluted flowers of light lavender. 
EDITH CAVELLE — Delicate orchid, very ruffled flowers. Leaves are dark green, red 
underneath and fluted. 
GYPSY PRINCE — A good medium lavender and a prolific bloomer. 
LILAC PRINCESS — A clear light lavender with bright yellow stamens. Excellent 
grower. 
LOVELINESS — Pretty ruffled lavender bloom. Fluted leaves. 
PASTEL GIRL — Girl type foliage with a clear lavender flower. Outstanding. 
RAPTURE — Dark reddish-lavender bloom. Very ruffled. 
RUFFLED TREASURE — Frilly flowers of a lavender-rose. Dark bronzy leaves. 
TAFFETA — This makes a large plant. Flowers are a delicate lavender.
