GLOXINIA 
Carter’s “Invincible Prize” Gloxinia Bulbs. Our Invincible Prize strain stands

hibitions. Strong Bulbs, choice named varieties. Price, .76 each; $6.60

By availing ourselves of the modern method of cold storage we are enabled to 
supply forcing roots of this pretty decorative plant through the winter months. 
One advantage these retarded roots have over those handled in the ordinary 
way is the quick time in which the flowers are produced. We have seen dormant 
crowns put into strong heat and brought into beautiful bloom within three weeks, 
but we recommend six weeks as the average time for a perfect flower spike. 
RETARDED LILY OF THE VALLEY 
We have made arrangements by which a continuous supply during winter may 
be assured.
