Gloxinias. This class of gorgeous sum- 

 mer-blooming bulbous rooted plants can be 

 grown successfully with ordinary care, 

 flowering in six or eight weeks after the 

 bulbs are placed in the soil. They should 

 be started in a green house, hot bed or sun- 

 ny window. They will bloom until late 

 summer, when they should be dried off, 

 letting the leaves die. The pots containing 

 the bulbs or the bulbs themselves must be 

 kept out of reach of frost or severe freez- 

 ing. They are natives of tropical America, 

 and are among the most ornamental of our 



tender flowering plants, having been won- 

 derfully improved by culture. See illus- 

 tration. Mixed colors, including man}- 

 handsome shades of pink, blue and white, 

 fine plants. 25 and 50 cents each. 



Gloxinia. 



Heliotrope. Of these popular fragrant 

 blossoms, we have selected those which are 

 most adaptable to our southern climate, 

 size of flower, color and fragrance, our 

 standpoint in selection. 



Reine des Violets— Color dark blue, 

 very free and of great substance, fragrance 

 exceptionally sweet and rare. 



Jean Poitevine-A most pleasant shade 

 of light blue with small white eye, very 

 fragrant and flowers in great abundance. 



Snow Queen— A strong variety; habit 

 strong and vigorous, and also very fragrant, 

 color clear white. 



Sapphire— Violet blue one of the best. 



La Duse— Plant about 12 inches tall, 

 with the prettiest foliage of any heliotrope 

 extant, small, stiff and glossy; the habit, 

 also, is unique, as the stiff stems are quite 

 uniform in height and support enormous 

 trusses of bloom that are semi-globular in 

 form, making a great spread of color, which 

 is blue shading to lavender; the odor is ex- 

 quisite. In the recent very dry summer 

 this grand variety was the one noticeable 

 sort in the field, growing and blooming 

 persistently. What it will be like in a sea- 

 son of normal moisture, we can hardl}' pre- 

 dict. Price, 25c. each. 



Prince Charmant — Another variety 

 with handsome foliage, extremely free in 

 bloom, color a lovely tint of bluish nnuve. 

 Like all of the Bruant type, this variet}- has 

 panicles of bloom of enormous size. Is 

 dwarf and compact in growth, and a great 

 advantage on older sorts. Price, loc. each; 

 $1 dozen. 



Hydrangfeas —Beautiful blooming plant 

 adapted to rather shady location. The large 

 clusters of flowers resemble the snowball, 

 only being much larger.
