 _ of the Most Beautiful 



ULOXINIAS Flowers that Blooms. 



Certainly among the handsomest of our summer flowering 

 plants, presenting, as they do, such a variation of rich and exquisite 

 coloring, equal to the orchid in novelty and beauty. The flowers 

 are of handsome shape and large size, and a great variety of colors 

 that are velvety in the depth and richness of shading. The flowers 

 often measure 3 inches in length and 2 in width, and are upright and 

 pendulous. They succeed well with ordinary care, and should be 

 grown in a moderately shady place, as the sun bums the foliage 

 when wet, causing brown spots to appear. Plant bulbs in a mix- 

 ture of light loam, .manure and sand, equal parts, giving but little 

 water until signs of life appear. You will have a succession of bloom 

 from June to September, and words cannot describe the rare beauty 

 of these flowers to one who has never seen them. When done bloom- 

 ing, dry gradually, and keep in pots over winter in a warm place. 



Distinct varieties, 10c. each; 3 for 25c; 1 doz. $1.00, 

 postpaid.
