SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS. 
Gloxinia Crassifolia» A charming class of summer- 
blooming^ bulbs, which succeed with ordinary care. They 
should be grown in a moderately shady place, as the sun burns 
the foliage when wet, making brown spots appear. They are 
easily grown, and bloom constantly until autumn, when they 
should be allowed to die down and the pots kept dry in some 
warm place until spring, when the bulbs can be started into 
growth again. Any good soil will grow them, but will do best 
in compost of one-half good loam, balance equal parts old 
manure and leaf mould. In potting, allow top of bulb to stand 
just above the soil — water but little until growth commences. 
Our bulbs this season are fine and large, and in a mixture of the 
grandest colors ; all in the “ Crassifolia ” varieties, which is the 
strongest growing strain known. (See cut.) Price, in colors,
