This beautiful flowering plant is very popular and exceedingly 
attractive in conservatory decoration. It has been greatly 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. The soil recom- 
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 time 
the buds appear. 
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, and 
will be found immeasurably superior to other strains.

By careful hybridization and selection we have succeeded in pro- 
ducing a most unique strain of hybrid Gladioli containing an almost 
endless variety of colours. The new blue shades are in pleasing 
proportion, as are the more delicate cream and rose ground varieties. 
Carters Butterfly Strain, although large-flowered, is quite free from 
any suggestion of coarseness.
