SEI.ECT GI.OXINIAS 



The Gloxinia ought to be one of our common plants because 

 of its great beauty, the profusion of its flowers and its summer 

 blooming habit. But it is not common, by any means, and this 

 fact IS attributable almost entirely to the impression that pre- 

 vails to a great extent that it is a very difficult plant to grow — 

 quite beyond the ability of the amateur, in fact. Such is not 

 the case, however, if one goes at it in the right way. Full cul- 

 tural directions are given in our book "Hints on the Growing 

 of Bulbs. Price, 25 cts. per copy, or free to customers who 

 ask for it when ordering. 



We offer a choice selection of mixed colors, 35 cts. each; 

 $3.50 per doz.
