summer and autumn decoration of the Greenhouse and Conservatory, for they produce 
irr the utmost profusion, magnificent flowers of very large size, and great variety in 
coloirr. They do not re(^uire stove cultivation, but will succeed well in a Greenhouse. 
The tubers rest during’ the winter months, similar to Gloxinias, and can be easily 
re-started into growth in the spring. Their profuse flowering quality, and the 
charming variety of colour of their blossoms, render them extremely showy and 
effective. ,, ,
