WHOLESALE PRICE LIST

3132 McHENRY AVE. ¢ CINCINNATI 11, OHIO

75 YEARS

In 1882 Mr. Julius A. Peterson started a florist
business with Mr. John W Miller. Greenhouses
were built on Epworth Ave. where now is located
Ramona Ave. One year later Mr. Peterson bought
out his partner. About 1892 greenhouses were
built on McHenry Ave., the present location, about
a mile from the original site. The houses were
first used for cut flowers such as roses and carna-
tions. At one time as many as three flower stores
or stands were operated in downtown Cincinnati.
1900 saw the close of these stores with the switch
to wholesale only from the greenhouses

African Violets were introduced into the United
States about 1903. Some of the first were grown
and exhibited at Fairmount Park Greenhouses in
Philadelphia. Mr. Roger Peterson, son of J. A.
was working in Philadelphia at the time. During
a visit there Roger brought his father’s attention
to this plant. About 1910 one hundred Saintpaulia
ionantha were purchased from W. K. Harris Co.
of Philadelphia and put into production. This pro-
vided a contrasting blue flowering plant to be
used with Cyclamen, Begonias, and Hydrangeas.
From this time on at least one greenhouse was
kept in African Violets. During this period up to
the depression these pot plants were the main
crops. Just prior to World War I considerable
work was done on hybridizing begonias, resulting
in the strain known as the Christmas Begonias or
Cincinnati Begonias. The finest of these, Melior,
is still in mass production at ranges in this BUY
and many foreign lands.

During 1927, J. A. Peterson sold the business to
two of his sons, Roger W. Peterson and H. Clarence
Peterson. Shortly thereafter the depression set in,
requiring a shift back to cut flower production —
principally Snapdragons, Stocks and Pompons.
Still some violets were kept in stock. New varie-
ties such as Blue Boy, Amethyst, Sailor Boy, Vik-
ing, Neptune, Commodore etc., were purchased
from Armacost and Royston during 1935 and 1936.

Following World War II, Henry C. Peterson, the
present proprietor, purchased the business from
his father and Roger Peterson in May, 1946. Violet
production was continually increased until all
other crops were discontinued about 1950. Today
the entire range of 47,000 sq. ft. of glass is in
Saintpaulia and related plant culture.

This catalogue lists the varieties of Saintpaulias
(African Violets) and other Gesneriaceae we will
have in production during 1957-58. An attempt has
been made to list each violet under its outstanding
characteristics such as

Fringed or Ruffled Flower
Variegated foliage
Doubles

Double Pinks
Amazons (Supremes)
Duponts
Gypsies
Wild Species
Armacost and Royston varieties
Miniatures
Slick foliage types
Strawberry foliage types
Single Flowered types

Purple or Dark Blue
Medium Blue

Light Blue

Red Violet

Pink

Lavender

White

Two-tone

You may find some varieties listed under two
or three headings, such as fringed and amazon.

COLOR CODE:

For those not under color heading a letter fol-
lowing the variety name will indicate the color
per the following code: White W, Pink P, Light

with Marking WB or WR.

ORDERING:

The 2%” size are vigorous plants for repotting
and growing on or for immediate sale, in bud or
bloom if possible. Specify if you desire single or
multi-grown plants. These pack in cartons of
either 25 or 40.

The minimum order is one carton. Varieties
may be assorted with no more than 8 varieties
per carton of 25 or 12 varieties per carton of 40.
All plants are labeled. When ordering please state
if you want only the specific variety or if we may
substitute when a variety is out of bloom or out of
supply. 3” size pack 25 per carton, 4” at $1.00 each
pack 16 per carton, these are not indicated on price
list but are available in most standard varieties.

Special quotation on lots of 1000 or more.

Credit extended to established customers.

Accounts over 30 days will draw interest at 6%
per annum.

SHIPPING:

All shipments are made collect by Railway Ex-
press, Greyhound Bus or Air Freight. For winter
shipments we use a double carton straw pack
which we believe gives as much insulation protec-
tion as any method so far tried. On high value
shipments we will prepay protective signature
service. On single carton orders the charge will
be on the express bill if the consignee requests the
service.

DAMAGE:

Cold damage sometimes takes several days to
show up. At that time the plants will seem to
wilt and probably turn black. Quite often cold
damaged plants will seem to have been scorched
or burned with hot water or spray material. Under
some conditions there is quite often a strong chem-
ical odor.

In Case of Damage, call carrier agent immediate-
ly and have them fill out joint inspection report,
which is used for filing your claim. This claim
should be filed by you with your carrier agent
promptly, then notify us.

GUARANTEE:

If you follow the above directions we will re-
place the shipment and wait for settlement from
carrier or their refusal letter.

LOCATION:

We are on McHenry Ave. just two blocks from
Harrison Ave. (about 2450 block). Harrison Ave.
is U.S. 52 west. We are in the suburb of Westwood,
about five miles from downtown Cincinnati.

We suggest, if possible, it is better to drive in
and pick up your violets. Let us know what you
want and when you will be here, we will have
ready what we can pick out for you.
