Violets continue to increase in popularity, having developed from a few hundred to thousands that exist in a wide range of color and type. These books explode the myth that African violets are difficult to grow and provides the reader with the know-how to make the most of this delightful and popular plant. The African Violet Handbook (David & Charles, 2003) is written by Tony Clements, one of Britain s leading African violet specialists. This helpful guide contains clear practical advice and includes drawings and photographs. He gives tips on care and cultivations from his own experiences. His advice will help develop specimens which have a long growing season. For a different reading style try Melvin Robey s African Violets: Back to the Basics, Your Questions Answered (AuthorHouse, 2006). The reader will find answers to 250 common questions which the author is commonly asked. Black and white photographs and drawings accompany the text. This third book by the author combines his knowledge of horticulture in this question and answer style. African Violets: the Complete Guide (Crowood, 1998) includes chapters on the African violet s history, development and classification. It also gives practical information and advice on propagation, general care, hybridization and the prevention and treatment of pests. The authors are highly experienced growers, hybridists and exhibitors, writing in a non-technical style. Violas and Violettas (HarperCollins, 1994) describes 36 varieties in detail, each with its own individual characteristics. Author Rodney Fuller provides a concise description of each entry, as well as useful information on cultivation and propagation. Color illustrations accompany the text. Roy Coombs, former president of the International Violet Association, shows his love of the flower in Violets: the History & Cultivation of Scented Violets (Batsford, 2003). History of all four groups of violets is included with the list of cultivars and cultivation information. Both color photographs and water color drawings accompany this book. Joyce and Kent Stork were long-time contributors to African Violet Magazine with their For Beginners column. You Can Grow African Violets (iuniverse, Inc., 2008) features these columns which have been adapted and edited. The most novice grower is provided with a step-bystep guide whether the goal is simply to keep violets alive or to exhibit the plants in competitive shows. Although no illustrations or photographs are included, it is very helpful for basic information. Mary Moore Tulsa City-County Library
