This beautiful flowering plant Is very popular and exceedingly 
attractive in conservatory decoration. It has been g reatly ^improved 
in the size and colours of the blossoms in recent years, and includes 
almost every shade. When grown from tubers it is treated 
somewhat like the Begonia, although during the younger stages of 
growth the plant prefers a moist, warm atmosphere. Directly the 
flower buds commence to burst they may be transferred to a drier 
situation, such as the conservatory staging affords. 
mended should be of a rich, loamy description, mixed with sand and 
leaf-mould, and they may be fed with liquid manure up to the tune 
Our stock* of Invincible Prize Gloxinias embraces the greatest 
variety of colouring and form, including rich crimson, white, and 
blue grounds, elegantly mottled, and a great variety of beautiful 
parti and self colours. The flowers are of immense substance, aud 
will be found immeasurably superior to other strains
