Have you ever killed an African violet? Kent and Joyce Stork killed their first violet too! They soon mastered the skills for growing the plant and eventually wrote for the <I>African Violet Magazine</I>, the official publication of the African Violet Society of America, Inc. for over ten years. Their column <I>For Beginners</I> explained the basic elements of growing violets in an entertaining and straightforward way that anyone could understand.<p>
Now these columns have been adapted and edited to provide even the most novice grower with a step-by-step guide, whether the goal is simply to keep violets alive or to exhibit the plants in competitive shows.<p>
