o.p. Streptocarpus ( Gesneracem ), New Hybrids — These new 
hybrids are remarkable tor their abundance of bloom, and the continuous 
succession in which the dowers are produced for about four months in the 
summer and early autumn, and also for the long time the individual flowers 
last in perfection. The plant is a greenhouse perennial, of dwarf, neat 
habit, growing about 9 inches high, with rather long, narrow, arched and 
recurved stcmless leaves ; whilst the flowers, which are very graceful in 
form, are trumpet-shaped, and measure about 1| inches in length. The 
variation of colours in these new hybrids is very striking, scarcely two 
plants being exactly the same, and the colours range from pure white, 
through pale lavender, lavender-blue, lilac-blue, light mauve, purple, 
violet, bright rose, and red to rich rosy purple, with all the intermediate 
lints, and in all the flowers the throat and three lower segments are more 
or less marked or splashed with long blotches or spots of various shades 
of purple, generally shaded and relieved with white, which greatly 
enhances the effect, and affords a pleasing contrast of colour. If seed is 
sown the end of January and February, the plants come into bloom the 
following June and July, and continue flowering freely until the end of 
September and October. 2s. G d. and Is. G d. per pkt.
