G AILLARDI A, New Double (Lorenziana). The " Garden" speaks of it as follows: "A 

 variety of a popular hardy plant, remarkable for the florets of the head being tubular 

 and colored orange and red. The flowers are some 2 inches or 3 inches across, semi- 

 globose and dense — therefore very showy." 15 



GLOXINIA, gesnerioides. This splendid novelty has been raised by fecundation of Glox- 

 inia and Gesneria Donkelaari. In habit and foliage it is like a Gesneria, but the 



flowers are bell-shaped like the Gloxinia and as large, the color a bright red 75

 wick, signified their appreciation of this variety by awarding a first-class certificate to

set to form a good head 10
