This Gorgeous Exotic is as easily grown and cared for as 
many of the common flowers. They are the most magnificent 
table decorations we have in summer. Keep the bulbs in pots 
in the house, or on the veranda, in boxes or little frames out¬ 
side. and you can cut the flowers all summer. Their green 
leaves are surmounted with a cluster of lovely trumpet-shaped 
flowers. The coloring is exquisite; the groundwork of many 
GLOXINIAS. 
Prom a superb collection of upright flowered varieties. 
is pure white, with throats of blue, scarlet, rose, or crimson; or 
the tubes are of bright color with white throat. The bulbs should 
be started in a warm place—greenhouse, hotbed, or sunny win¬ 
dow. They will bloom till late in summer, when they should be 
dried off, letting the leaves die; the pots can be kept over winter 
in a cellar free from frost. Price, splendid mixtures, strong 
bulbs, 15 cts. each ; dozen, $1.50. I3y mail, postpaid.
