GESNERAS (NAEGELI AS). 
The value of Gesneras as decorative plants can scarcely he over estimated. Most 
of them have rich velvet-like foliage, which, in the respective kinds, varies from 
green to crimson. If only grown for the foliage they are very attractive, hut 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 tho spotting on the 
flowers of some of the varieties is extremely pretty. Selections of good varieties at 
30s. and 42s. per dozen, according to sorts.

NEW SEMI-DOUBLE GESNERA. 
MADAME HEINE, a distinct and beautiful variety with handsome foliage ; the flowers are of large 
size and perfect shape, freely produced in fine pyramidal branching racemes, the tube and 
outside lobes being of a rich violet-purple colour, the centre white shaded with rose and spotted 
with purple, while the interior of the throat is orange-yellow with crimson spots. The plant is 
of free growth and good habit, and is remarkable on account of the lower flowers often 
producing a number of petaloid segments, thus giving to the blooms a semi-double appear- 
ance. 7s. 6d. 
NEW HYBRID GESNERAS. 
The following new hybrid varieties are the result of a cross between a Gesnera 
and an Achimenes, inheriting the handsome foliage of the former with the showy 
flowers of the latter.

dark rosy- violet colour, resembling in shape those of an Achimenes. is. 6d.

like flowers, winch are abundantly produced, being of a rich carmine-purple colour. 7s. C cl.

approaching a true Achimenes in general character, and the great length of time 
during which they remain in bloom ; they are also very free-flowering.

rose colour shaded with purple, fading towards the edge into rosy-salmon. 7s. Gd.
