GESNERAS. 
The value of Gcsneras, as decorative plants, can scarcely be over-estimated. Most 
of them have rich velvet-like foliage, which, in the respective kinds, varies fi’om green 
to crimson. If only grown for the foliage, they are very attractive, but during the 
winter they produce splendid pyramidal spikes of blossom, which arc extremely 
handsome. Until recently, however, the principal colom' was orange scarlet ; now, 
resultant from fertilization, there are various colours and shades ; added to which, 
the spotting on the flowers of some of the varieties is extremely pretty.
