Downsview resident Mr. Erâ€" nest Fisher, active director of the African Violet Society, delighted his audience at St. Stephen‘s Church on February 6, to an address and demonstration, sponâ€" sored by the 7th Downsyiew Cub and Scout Ladies‘ Auxiliary. With the aplomb of a man who knows all there is to know about these beautiful plants, he has over two thousand African Violets in yarâ€" ious stages of growth at his home on Downsview Avenue, Mr. Fishâ€" er produced, from several gaily coloured boxes, violets, violets, ... and more violets for door prizes!
