The Gloxinia is a grand flower and makes a

 the richest and most beautiful colors, ranging 

 from pure white to dark, blood-red, pink, blush, 

 lavender, indi^o-blue, marbled and spotted. 

 They will bloom in four to fi ve months from time 

 seed is sown. Pkt., 50 seeds, 12 cents.

GOURDS. 



ORNAMENTAL. 



Tender, annual climbers, 

 with curiously shaped fruit 

 in various colors, many of 

 which are peculiarly mark- 

 ed. The foliage is quite or- 

 namental, and many of the 

 fruits being hard-shelled, 

 can be kept for years. Seed 

 should be started in pots in 

 the house and planted out 

 as soon as danger from frost 

 is past. 



Pkt., 20 seeds, 6 cents. 



The most popular plant grown^ either for pot 

 culture in winter, or for bedding out in summer. 

 No flowering plants are more grown, and cer- 

 tainly none are more suitable for large beds, 

 where a mass of bloom is desired, or for single 

 specimens in pots for the house. But few are 

 aware that they can be grown easily from seed 

 and flower the first season, if sown early, and 

 will frequently reward the cultivator with 

 charming new varieties; in fact, propagation 

 by seed is the only sure way to obtain new va- 

 rieties. The seed I ofter has been saved from 25 

 of the finest varieties grown, including Mad. 

 Thebault, Mad. Garfield, Gen. Grant, Capt. Ains- 

 worth. Little Gem, Cloth of Gold. Ha ppy Thought, 

 Snow on Mountain. Adonis, and Beaconsfield; 

 also included in this mixture are 7 varieties of 

 Pelargoniums.' or Lady Washington; and two 

 Ivy-leaved varieties. There can be no finer 

 mixed Geranium, and it cannot fail to bring 

 forth somie splendid new varieties. 



Pkt., 40 seeds, 16 cents.
