Dear Homemaker: 
Are you an indoor windowsill gardener? If you have even one 
potted plant, I’d like to have a moment of your time now, 
before you turn the pages of this catalog. We all take great 
pride in keeping our home “friendly” and everyone knows 
that all “green thumbers” are just plain home folks when it 
comes to swapping advice and talking about plants. Haven’t 
you noticed that if you have a purple violet, it doesn’t take 
long before you acquire a leaf or two of another kind? In no 
time at all you find yourself watching for your sprouts to un- 
fold, then what a joy it is to watch the new blossoms unfold, 
and suddenly, you’ve found a delightful hobby! 
You want African Violets that will bloom without pampering, 
and you want them to reach you in fine growing condition! 
You may wonder how we pack them so they arrive without 
breakage. Our African Violets (individually potted whole 
plants, not cheap divided roots) are sent with a ball of good 
earth around the roots, and we wrap well dampened moss 
around the soil. The plant is enclosed in waxed paper and then 
anchored firmly onto corrugated padding to prevent shifting 
within the box ... guaranteed by us to keep right on growing 
and blooming! Complete growing instructions included too. We 
sell both the new varieties for the collector and also the 
exquisite kinds that are just a few years older, priced for the 
modest purse. 
Be the first in your neighborhood to have a window full of 
violets, blooming all colors of the rainbow during the winter 
months when flowers are most appreciated. Send us your order 
today! 
Sincerely, SPOUTZ GREENHOUSES, 
Mrs. Jennie Spoutz
