BEGONIA, Marjorie Gibbs. The first major appear¬ 
ance of this variety at Christmas proved its ability 
to be the standard Christmas Begonia in the future. 
The flowers are much larger, a brighter clear pink 
and the foliage is a fine, glossy green. It will flourish 
in 54 to 56 degrees, making it easier to grow than its 
ancestors. June delivery and later.25.00 225.00

this merchandise into transit this week, so it will get here before Sunday

CALCEOLARIA, Barmi Hybrids. A new strain that 
surpasses anything yet offered. Flowers are a bit 
smaller, though much more profuse than older 
types, coming in a gorgeous array of colors. Holds 
entirely to clear shades, beautifully speckled and 
blotched. The foliage is darker and more glossy, 
being a new adjunct to the Hybrid types, forming 
a fine contrast in this new Calceolaria. For exhibi¬
