BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



GLOXINIA. 



A charming class of summer-blooming bulbs, which succeed with 

 ordinary 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 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 supplied to prevent damp- 

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

 under the staging of a greenhouse. 



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.
