The Hanging Basket also went to
the show without the hanging

5000 people looking at the plants

had I not been busy elsewhere.

growers from whom 1 purchased
plants, some Of them outstanding
African violet originators. I saw
many members of the African Vio-
let Correspondence Clubs (of these
I belong to four with whom I have
snapped leaves and plants from
many States.
I also met officers and members
Of the African Violet Society and
many enthusiasts I have never
heard Of before.
Every one was friendly and
searching for friends they had pre-
viously planned to meet. If you
were looking for some one from
Flint or st. Louis, and saw one
wearing badge SO marked, If not
your acquaintance, he probably knew
where to find your friend. and so
it went on for two days with two
luncheons and a dinner in between.
Some times you sat across the table
from the one you were seeking. 1t
was wonderful!
AS we had friends from this vi
cinity also attending the show our
stay in Atlanta was very enjoyable.
I talked with the little lady from
whom we have purchased our seeds.
She was delighted with my descrip-
ton of growing seedlings. 1t did
her heart good, she said, to know
the seeds were a success. She had
worked so hard to produce the
crosses. in quantities, and so seldom
did any one write to tell her about
their success.
also visited two greenhouses
one retail, one wholesale. Here
nothing but African violets were
growing, magnificent sight!
I wish all you African violet en-
thusiasts could have attended the
show and convention 1t was all
very well planned and a grand
success.
We very reluctantly left Atlanta
for home with only a hundred new
plants when I wanted to bring them

dresses of many with whom I even
tually will exchange varieties and
SO on until another convention.
Good luck to all Of you with youl

DEAR AFRICAN VIOLET
FRJENDS.


FRIENDS:
regret to be 50 late in reporting
on the African violet show and
convention which attended in At
lanta in october.
My own more than a thousand
plants have kept me SO busy.
Mrs. B. H. H. of Arlington would
like to know which was the most
outstanding plant in the show. The
judges awarded that honor to an
Ionantha Grandiflora.
The largest single crown plant
was also an Ionantha, however, the
Ionanthas grown there are more
compact, not like the long g-stemmed,
erect ones we know
Imagine my surprise when I saw
a local name, Mrs. L. K. Shakelton,
on a blue ribbon plant, called
Mauve. She has raised African vio-
lets as a hobby for many years.
Since the show she has been receiv-
ing inquiries from all over the
country about Mauve. There were
many lovely new varieties not yet
on sale. Old Lace, a pretty little
thing, evident sport from Blue
Girl, has leaves pointed like Rufdes
and scalloped like Blue Girl, with
light markings around its edges. 1t
originated in the same greenhouse
with the Amazons, which resemble
the Du Points.
Here, too, the Red Amazon
showed its face to the public for
the first time, but try as I did
could not get even one leaf. "
There were variegated small

ROASTING TURKEY

(Frona Mrs. G. r. ~, Alexandria,
For L. H. B., Washington: I used
to have the same difficulty espec-
tally when roasting turkey until I
discovered this method: Roast in
open shallow roaster at low, rather
moderate heat (about 350). Roast
breast down and covered with cloth
dipped in melted fat. About half
an hour before roasting time is up
turn fowl breast side up and remove
cloth. baste the bird about every
20 to 80 minutes right through
cloth. This results in weu-broWned,
completely cooked and juicy turkey
or chicken.
Hope this suggestion will prove
helpful.

Here are some hints. To line cake
pans easily with wax paper, grease
pan lightly, cover with a piece Of
waxed paper and insert another pan
identical or nearly SO. Trim of the
edges.
When making crumb pie crust,
arrange crumbs in pan, cover with
waxed paper and press with another
pan or fingers for firmer crust.
When the thread on your sewing
machine breaks frequently, try turn
ing the spool over.
Large, heavy grocery bags make
excellent wrapping for your Christ
mas parcel post packages.
My request: How can the heavy
deposit be removed from an old tea
kettle?
I will not express my appreciation
of RICH as my complaint is having
