Glo.xi'nias. 
Ours is tlie finest, clioicest, and tlie best grown collection in England. 
our opinion tliese rank second to no other flowers for nohle form and bcautv. Our three 100- 
feet houses in .lune, .July, and August are really a magnificent sight, and many have said "Well, 
this is alone worth our journey.” Pot them into any ordinary good soil, and if kept close in a 
' temperature of 55“ to 70", well shaded from all sunlight, and treated in the Siune way as warm 
greenhouse plants — free from cold draughts, and li<iuid manure once a week — the result wilt he a 
grand sight. A l.s. packet of our seed sown in January to May will give a splendid display. 
Selections left to H. C; & Sons will be supplied at 15s., 18s., 24s., and 30s. per doz.; choice 
new varieties, 42s. per doz.
