Growing to Show

If you want a reference book for all of your African violet growing needs, this is it!  Written by Pauline Bartholomew in 1985, it has been the reference for violet growers for the past 20 years.  It has just been extensively updated and reissued.

A great source of information for both the novice and accomplished exhibitor, it has 119 pages of extensive, detailed, information on every aspect of African violet care and culture.  Illustrated "how to" steps make everything easy to understand.  Though exhibitors will find this book useful, this book should be required reading for novices and growers of all backgrounds.  Very highly recommended! 

Price is $16 when sent with your order.  If sent by itself, add $2 for postage and handling.
