 intervals during spring, they 

 will flower at different 

 times, but those that are 

 planted earliest produce the

 should be taken up in the 

 fall.

Gloxinia? 



Oloxinias. These are 

 really bulbous green-house 

 plants, but they can be cul- 

 tivated in pots and kept in 

 a shady place in the garden, 

 or window. They are very 

 beautiful ; color from white 

 to dark violet and crimson. 

 The leaves are velvety, and 

 on some varieties very large.

 in spring; require sandy 

 ground and a good deal of 

 moisture during flowering 

 time. French Hybrids, strong 

 bulbs, $3.00 per dozen.

 beautiful flowering bulb, well suited for open ground or pot culture.

 pots it is well to keep in a cool, rather dark place, till they are well 

 started, when they can be placed in the full light and sun. Double
