GLOXINIA ERECTA SUPERBISSIMA 



Having during the past season been requested to secure some specially fine Gloxinias for exhibition purposes, we have made arrange- 

 ments with a noted Gloxinia specialist in England to reserve for us some of the most distinct types. The bulbs are not so large as the 

 Named Varieties, but this is a characteristic of most Erecta superbissima varieties. 



BODDINGTON'S IDEAL PRIZE GIANT MIXED. Great 



variety of superb colors. 

 CYCLOPS. Velvety carmine, shading to a broad white border, 



throat dotted with dark red. 

 DUCHESS OF YORK. Flowers of a rich dark blue, each petal 



being edged with a broad band of white. A most striking and 



lovely variety. 



SPOTTED HYBRIDS. These charming flowers still advance in 

 public favor. Whenever exhibited they create intense interest. 

 The delicate markings, in an infinite variety of forms, add a special 

 charm to the flowers. The habit and the size of the individual 

 blooms have been greatly improved. 



25 cts. each, $2.60 per doz., $15 per 100 



GOLIATH. Velvety purple-violet, shaded to a pure white border, 



throat delicately spotted. 

 HER MAJESTY. This exquisite Gloxinia is still unsurpassed by 

 any other white variety. The flowers are as pure as newly fallen 

 snow, and are borne on short stems, just clear of the elegantly 

 recurved foliage. In habit the plant is compact, free-flowering, and 

 of the highest decorative value. 

 READING SCARLET. In color this is the most brilliant Gloxinia 

 in existence, being an intense glowing scarlet variety of the true 

 Crassifolia habit. An admirable companion to Her Majesty. Comes, 

 perfectly true and no collection is complete without it. 



GLOXINIA TUBIFLORA 



Flower-stems rise to the height of 2 feet, each bearing several large pure white blossoms 4 inches in length and of 



a peculiar and fascinating fragrance. 15 cts. each. $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
