CARTER'S TESTED SEEDS - BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 
41 
GLOXINIA — Sow in well-drained pans from January to 
* March (or in the autumn); fill the pans with 
soil consisting of a mixture of half peat and half leaf mould, with a 
small quantity of pulverised charcoal and silver sand sifted very 
fine, to within half an inch of the rim; water with fine hose, then sow 
the seed thinly, taking care not to cover it with soil; place in a tem- 
perature of 75 deg., and cover the pans with a piece of shaded glass, 
gradually removing the same as the seedlings progress. When large 
enough to handle, prick off into pans at about 1 in. apart, then pot 
off into single pots. Many will soon attain the requisite strength 
to go into 5 in. or 48 pots, and will bloom in August and September 
of the same year. The potting off soil should consist of one-half good 
loam, one-half fibrous peat, with a good sprinkling of sand and broken 
charcoal.

4141 Carters Invincible Prize Superb Mixture. —The superb 
mixture of Gloxinia we offer under the name Invincible is magni- 
ficent. It contains all the best self-colours, crimson, sapphire, 
purple, rose, blush, violet, white, etc., also the finest edged, 
tipped, ringed, and shaded varieties, together with the most 
beautiful spotted or marbled kinds, and is the finest we have 
seen. 
4135 Carters Giant Carmine.— A choice colour in Gloxinias, the 
edges of the blooms being of a light carmine, gradually shading 
to a deeper tone towards the throat. The habit is robust and 
erect. 
4136 Carters Giant Purple. — A strong grower, carrying flowers 
of immense size. In colour it is a deep-velvety purple, with a 
slightly spotted throat. 
4137 Carters Giant Scarlet. —A very vivid scarlet variety, which 
comes quite true from seed. The flowers are of good size and 
texture. 
4138 Carters Giant White. — We consider this the best white yet 
raised. The size of the flowers, the purity of its colour, and its 
robust habit leave nothing to be desired. The flowers, although 
large, are held erect on exceptionally strong stems. 
4140 Carters Cyclops. — This is one of the largest and strongest 
growing Gloxinias in commerce. The base of the throat is 
cream, heavily spotted, whilst the upper portion is of intense 
scarlet, passing to a soft pink, and ultimately leaving a wide 
margin of the purest white ut the edge of each lobe.

planted, or may be sown direct into the ground. A few kinds 
are excellent for pots.
