The following' novel and beautiful varieties will bo found admirably adapted for the 
summer and autumn decoration of the Greenhouse and Conservatory, for they produce 
in the utmost profusion, magnificent flowers of very large size, and groat variety in 
colour. They do not require stove cultivation, but will succeed well in a Greenhouse. 
The tubers rest during the winter months, similar to Gloxinias, and can be easily
