HYBRID CAPE GERANIUM, “ Echina- 
tum,”’ 
This class of Geraniums is entirely distinct, but very little 
ikknown They bloom very freely, and are useful for cut 
flowers. This species is a representative of the class; the 
dJeaves are covered with a white silvery down; flowers pure 
white; the upper petals feathered with maroon; borne on 
weil-formed trusses. $1.00 each. 
GERANIUMS, IVY-LEAVED. 
Although the foliage of this class is of sufficient interest 
towarrant its cultivation, yet the value is greatly enhanced 
by the beauty and profusion of its flowers during the spring 
and summer months, running through the various shades of 
white, pink and crimson. The list is selected as giving the 
widest range of color. They are well adapted for rock- 
work or vases, and for drooping over baskets, or trained on 
trellises, are unsurpassed; few plants give more satisfaction 
for house culture, as they may be trained on trellises in any 
shape desired.

GLOXINIAS. 
These are among the handsomest of our summer-blooming

being beautiful in the extreme; flowers 2inches long, by 144 
inches diameter; upright and ndulous; colors crimson, 
violet, rose, scarlet, white, etc. The bulbs should be started 
in April, and after blooming all summer, require a season 
of rest. This can be done by gradually withholding water 
from them. After they are dried off, they may be kept 
in a warm, dry cellar or under the stage of a green-house.
