Definitions
- This new African violet variety originated as a seedling of unknown parentage grown in my breeding facilities at Hanover, Germany. This plant was discovered by me among my breeding stock and was selected for testing because of its vivid white and blue flowers borne high above the foliage on strong upright stems. Asexual propagation of this new plant was done by me by means of cuttings and was carried on through successive generations in my greenhouse at Hanover, Germany, which demonstrated conclusively that the novel characteristics of the new plant hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. Commercial scale propagation of this new African violet plant is now being done at West Chicago, Ill., U.S.A., by means of leaf cuttings.
- Size Average with various lengths and diameters at time of opening.
- Blooming habit Profuse and continuous.
- Petaloids --Various in number from 0 to 3. Size: Length -- 7 to 12 mm. Width -- 4 to 12 mm.
- Flower stem About 5.5 cm. to 7 cm. in length.
- Lasting quality 14 to 21 days for the fully opened flower.
- Ovaries Hypogynous and tomentose.
- This new variety of African violet plant somewhat resembles the variety "Dolly” but is recognizably different by its much more vivid and defined bi-color flowers which are relatively profuse and are borne upright above the foliage on rigid and erect stems.
- the flower form is typical of African violets, zygomorphic and sympetalous with three larger and two smaller petals. There may be as many as three petaloids clustered around the bright yellow anthers.

Description
This new African violet variety originated as a seedling of unknown parentage grown in my breeding facilities at Hanover, Germany. This plant was discovered by me among my breeding stock and was selected for testing because of its vivid white and blue flowers borne high above the foliage on strong upright stems. Asexual propagation of this new plant was done by me by means of cuttings and was carried on through successive generations in my greenhouse at Hanover, Germany, which demonstrated conclusively that the novel characteristics of the new plant hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. Commercial scale propagation of this new African violet plant is now being done at West Chicago, Ill., U.S.A., by means of leaf cuttings.
My new African violet cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying full color photographic drawing which shows the plant in full bloom and the form and color characteristics of the flowers, the colors shown being as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional professional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of the new plant based upon observations made in greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., U.S.A., the color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.

This new variety of African violet plant somewhat resembles the variety "Dolly" but is recognizably different by its much more vivid and defined bi-color flowers which are relatively profuse and are borne upright above the foliage on rigid and erect stems. The flower form is typical of African violets, zygomorphic and sympetalous with three larger and two smaller petals. There may be as many as three petaloids clustered around the bright yellow anthers. The bi-color is strong but may vary somewhat in intensity and pattern from plant to plant and flower to flower.
