NEW AND CHOICE GLOXINIAS. 
GESNERAS (Ni^GELIAS). 
Tlio value of Gesneras as decorative plants can scarcely bo over estimated. Most 
of them have rich velvet-like foliage, which, in the resjiective kinds, varies from 
green to crimson. If only grown for the foliage they are very attractive, but they 
produce splendid pyramidal spikes of blossom, which are extremely handsome. 
Originally, however, the principal colour was orange-scarlet ; now, as the result of 
fertilisation, there are various colours and shades, added to which the spotting on the 
flowers of some of the varieties is extremely pretty. Selections of good varieties at 
30«. and 42«. per dozen, according to sorts.
