BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE.

GLOXINIA. 



A charming class of summei-blooming bulbs, which succeed witli ordi- 

 nary care. They should be grown in a moderately shady place, as the 

 sun burns the foliage when wet, making brown spots appear. If planted in 

 frames, they will thrive admirably and produce their lovely flowers from June to September. After planting the bulbs in a 

 mixture of iibrous peat, light loam, manure and sand in equal parts, they require but little heat or water until they show signs of 

 growth, when the quantity of moisture and heat may be increased. Air should be plentifully supplied to prevent damping off. 

 When the plants have done blooming dry gradually off, and keep in pots over winter in a moderately warm place, or under the 

 staging of a green-house. 



Our collection of Gloxianias embraces all the popular varieties, ranging in color from the purest white through all the shades 

 •of crimson and purple, spotted and mottled. 20 cts. each ; $2. 00 per dozen ; $12.00 per 100.

HIBISCUS, "Crimson Eye." 



This elegant Hibiscus, after many years of 

 careful selection, has become entirely distinct. 

 It is a robust grower, with dark red stems and 

 foliage. The flowers are immense in size, often 

 measuring twenty inches in circtimference. The 

 color is of the purest white, with a large spot of 

 deep velvety crimson in the centre of each flower. 

 It is a striking combination of color and one that 

 must be seen to be fully appreciated. A well- 

 developed plant will produce several hundred of 

 these flowers in a season. It will succeed any- 

 where and is perfectly hardy, blooming the first 

 year in the open ground. It is of the easiest cul- 

 ture, thriving in all places and during seasons 

 when most other plants would perish. It makes 

 a compact bush four to six feet high in one year.
