Cyclamen Persicum 
Giganteum 
Medlola Smilax 
FREESIA, NEW TUBERGENI 
Here is a grand novelty, easily grown from seeds and 
bloom in five months. The richly-scented flowers far 
surpass those of other varieties in size and range of color, 
length and strength of stem, and lasting beauty when 
cut. A child could grow this splendid flower. It is the 
top-notch of hybrid Freesias, produced after years of 
hybridization by the famous Dutch florist whose name 
it bears, and should be a “must have” by every lover 
of sweet and beautiful flowers. Don’t fail to add this 
glorious flower to your list. See engraving. 
CYCLAMEN PERSICUM GIGANTEUM 
These are beautiful plants for the window in winter, 
the exquisite flowers being of many lovely colors and 
produced in great abundance for many weeks. Seeds 
show plantlets in about four weeks, and plants begin 
blooming in 18 months. Every seed, as a rule, will pro¬ 
duce a plant. My seeds are of Vilmorin’s Surpassing 
Strain, and can be depended upon for the finest giant 
flowers. The foliage is often as beautifully marked as a 
Begonia. Colors: Bright Rose, Pure White, White with

GESNERIA, NEW HYBRIDS 
These are very elegant plants akin to Gloxinias. 
They are as easily grown from seeds as Gloxinias, and 
spring seedlings bloom in late autumn. Cover the soil 
with chopped tobacco stems to ward off insects and to 
act as a fertilizer. Shade from hot sun in summer. Both 
foliage and flowers are beautiful, the flowers in many 
fine colors, often spotted. Found in Brazil and other 
So. American countries. In a general way they should 
be treated as Gloxinias. Cultural directions sent with 
seeds. 100 seeds. See engraving.
