00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:08.820
Well, here are some other pictures that I want to show you.

2
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:12.940
These violets belong to Mrs. Donna Lee Hanson of Evanston, Illinois.

3
00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:16.660
She grows them under artificial light down in the basement.

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.400
Now, Mrs. Hanson is very active in the African Violet Society.

5
00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:26.180
Here she is trimming off some of the dead or wilted flowers.

6
00:00:27.020 --> 00:00:34.580
It doesn't help as far as the growth of the other or development of the other flowers are concerned,

7
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:37.620
but it trims the plants up and makes them look neater.

8
00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:46.400
And when plants are entered in a show or contest, well, all the dead ones, of course, are always trimmed off.

9
00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:50.040
But here are some of Mrs. Hanson's plants.

10
00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:55.740
They're certainly beautiful plants, nice and healthy, and look at those leaves.

11
00:00:56.440 --> 00:00:59.340
Just as green and rich looking.

12
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:09.380
Over on the other table, she has the thermostat, not a thermostat, a humidistat, and the thermometer.

13
00:01:10.940 --> 00:01:12.900
And here are some of the younger plants.

14
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.160
She starts lots of cuttings, and she's done quite a bit of hybridizing.

15
00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:35.380
Here's a nice tray full of cuttings that are, well, they've developed into young plants now

16
00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:39.320
that form the crowns and quite a few leaves coming up.

17
00:01:56.660 --> 00:02:04.860
And here is the time switch where she controls the amount of light that's given the plants each day.

18
00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:08.500
The lights go on automatically in the morning, go off again at night.

19
00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:09.440
So, that's the end of the show.

20
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:09.440


21
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:09.440


22
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:09.440


23
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:09.440


24
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:09.440


25
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:09.440
