s.r. Tydsea Hybrida Nana — The culture of the natural order 
Gesneriaceas has been a speciality of our establishment for a number of years, 
and onr seedlings of Gloxinias, &c., comprise the finest and most beautiful 
varieties existing in this genus. The Tydseas cultivated up to the present 
time have the disadvantage to grow to the height of li to 2 feet and more 
before they form their flower stems, while the new class is of dwarf growth, 
attaining only a height of G to 9 inches when in full bloom, being very free 
flowering and varying in the same magnificent colours and strains as the 
tall sorts. Its very dwarf habit renders it very valuable, being equally as 
pretty as Gloxinias, and if sown early and potted forward these gay and 
effective varieties will also bloom the same season and at the same time.
