Ficue Eiastica Variegata. 



Genista 



Andreana. 



A most desirable shrub either 

 for planting in the open border 

 or for growing in pots as a deco- 

 rative spring-flowering plant, 

 like the well-known Genista 

 Fragrans and Racemosa that are 

 grown so extensively for Easter 

 decorations; but, unlike those 

 varieties, which are entirely 

 yellow, the flowers of this new 

 variety, which are nearly four 

 times as large, are produced in 

 large terminal racemes, the 

 lower Up being of a bright 

 yellow, while the upper one is 

 of a rich brownish crimson. 

 The plant is of elegant habit, 

 with dark-green stems and foli- 

 age and is hardy with protection. 



30 cts each ; $3.00 per doz. 



Gloxinia. 



A charming class of summer - blooming 

 bulbs, which succeed with ordinary care. 

 They should be grown in a moderately &hady 

 place, as the sun burns the foliage when wet, 

 making brown spots appear. If planted in 

 frames, they will thrive admirably and pro- 

 duce theh lovely flowers from June to Sep- 

 tember. After planting the bulbs in a mix- 

 ture of fibrous 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 sup- 

 plied to prevent damping off. When the 

 plants have done blooming dry off gradually, 

 and keep in pots over whiter in a moderately 

 warm place, or under the staging of a green- 

 house. 



Our collection of Gloxinias embraces all 

 the popular varieties, ranging in color from 

 the purest white through all the shades of 

 crimson and purple, spotted and mottled. 

 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100.
