GLOXINIA CRASSIFOLIA GRANDIFLORA. 



GLOXINIAS— CRIMSON QUEEN AND JENNY LIND. 



GLOXINIA CRASSIFOLIA GRANDIFLORA. 



Gloxinia Crassifolia Grandiflora, or Im- 

 proved New French Strains of Gloxinias 



here offered, are the most improved and beautiful 



race of Gloxinias now known. The plants are of 



vigorous and healthy habit of growth, with foliage of 



velvety green, surmounted with clusters of lovely 



trumpet-shaped flowers, which combine colors shad- 

 ings, markings and blendings in distinct and exquis- 

 ite beauty seen in no other flowers. The plants are 



easily grown from the large bulbs we send out. 



They succeed best in pots or boxes ; if set in the 



open ground, they should be placed in a somewhat 



shaded situation. When the plants have done 



blooming they can be gradually dried off like Calla 



Lilies and kept during Winter in a moderately warm 



dry place ; they will then be ready for starting into 



bloom the next season. We offer below the most 



valuable named varieties, also our unsurpassed mixed 



colors. All are fine, strong- American-g-ro-wn 



bulbs.
