GLOXINIA, CRASSIFOLTA GRANDIFLORA. 



"We offer Fine Strong- American Grown 

 Bulbs of all the best strains. This charming class 

 of flowering bulbs can be grown with ordinary care ; 

 pot, box or open ground, preferring, however, the 

 former, a partially shaded situation is best ; they 

 require but little heat or moisture until signs of 

 growth appear. After done blooming the plants 

 can be gradually dried off like Calla Lilies, and 

 keep during Winter in a moderately warm, dry 

 place ; they will then be ready for next season. 



GLOXINIA— Crassifolia Grandiflora. 



This superb selection produces large erect flow- 

 ers of the richest colors with contrasting throats. 

 We offered named varieties last season, which are 

 included with many other shades and markings,

 the most exacting. 30 cts.; 3 for 75 cts.; 12 for $3.

This beautiful new class is attracting much at- 

 tention ; fine large perfect flowers exquisitely spotted

 rally on a white or light ground ; very much im- 

 proved. 30 cts. each ; 3 for 75 cts.
