Our Strain of Gloxinias is unsurpassed.

Clibrans' Superb Erect Flowering Gloxinias. 
Gloxinias are extremely beautiful. By successive potting they flower throughout the greater 
part of the year, thriving best in a compost of loam, peat, leaf-mould, and sand, and a moist, warm 
atmosphere, free from cold draughts. Start the bulbs in March and April, in a warm house, and 
apply weak liquid manure, once or twice a week, when growing freely. Shade from sunshine. 
After blooming, gradually withhold water, and store away in a dry moderately warm place, care 
being taken that no damp reaches the bulbs. 
Special care has been bestowed on our strain of Gloxinias for many years past. The flowers 
are remarkable for their upright habit, large size, and the depth and intensity of their colouring . 
Both self colours and spotted forms are unusually fine. As a consequence of this, we have ceased 
to grow named varieties, as we find the blooms are finer in every way when raised direct from seed.

Greenhouse Plants. 
CULTURAL NOTES.— Plants suitable for Greenhouses thrive best in a temperature of 40 to 30 
degrees in Winter. All the Soft-wooded Plants of this Section need supplies of weak liquid manure, 
or a top-dressing of artificial manure, such as our "Ideal" Fertilizer, as soon as they are well 
established in the pots, if free and continuous bloom is required. The Hard-wooded Plants mostly 
require peat, leaf-soil, and sand, with a little well-rotted old manure, and do best in the coldest and 
most airy part of the house. The Soft-wooded Plants require rotted turf, old manure, leaf-mould, 
and sand, and do best in the warmest part of the house. If either class is wanted for Winter bloom, 
10 to 15 degrees more heat is required than is needed to keep them in health without bloom, and a 
drier atmosphere is essential. From June to September Hard-wooded Plants do well in a cold 
frame or behind a north wall or fence, if attended to for water, and kept quite free from insects. 
Soft-wooded Plants at this time are mostly in bloom. The house should be well ventilated, and 
slightly shaded from strong sunshine. Fumigate or syringe with some insecticide before the insects 
appear. 
New Hybrid Calceolaria for Greenhouse. 
WW “Calceolaria Clibrani,” "iWf 
A Distinct and Beautiful Plant for Greenhouse and Conservatory 
Decoration. 
This new Calceolaria will undoubtedly prove a valuable acquisition to cool house decorative 
plants. 
It is of shrubby habit, strong and vigorous in growth, and produces an abundance of beautiful 
lemon-yellow flowers. 
The foliage, 5 to 6 inches in length, is ovate lanceolate in form, with prettily cut and indented 
margins. 
The flowers are of large size, lemon-yellow in colour, produced in fine heads. 
The plant roots readily from cuttings put in during the Autumn, when in growth they may be 
stopped once or twice, according to the height the plants are required to attain , they will flower in 
June. After flowering, if cut back, the plants may be grown on lor a second year, when they will 
make large bushes and produce an immense amount of flowers. We strongly recommend this plant 
as an excellent subject for a cool house.
