SPRING CATALOGUE OF SEEDS, BULBS, AND PLANTS FOR 1901. 2® 
Streptocarp(JS,Grandiflora Hybrids 
We can honestly say that we do not know a pot plant 
more desirable for window culture than these new giant- 
flowered hybrids of Streptocarpus. They are very tough, 
hardy plants, likely to stand any amount of abuse and thrive 
under adverse surroundings. Plants from seed will begin 
blooming in a few months, and continue for veaks, without 
once stopping. Leaves long and narrow, radiating from the 
crown of the pl-ant, close to the soil. From the same spot 
spring the flower stems, shooting up to the height of 6 to 10 
inches, each one bearing a large trumpet-shaped flower of 
exceptional beauty, some pure white, blue or purple, but. 
mostly finely marked in a charming manner with harmoni¬ 
ous colors. A idant will show several of these exquisite 
flowers all the time, those which fade being replaced.by 
others, which are constantly appearing. The flowers, during 
late fall, winter and spring, are particularly fine even 
better than during summer. We do not hesitate to pro¬ 
nounce this the grandest window plant that has been in¬ 
troduced in a generation. Its ease of culture and adapta¬ 
bility for all conditions, is 
remarkable for a plant of 
such exceptional beauty.
