GLORIOSA SUPERBA 
This handsome African tuberous rooted plant known as the Climb¬ 
ing Lily has been used formerly as a greenhouse climber but, after 
repeated tests, we find that it may be enjoyed by the amateur as a 
most attractive climber. They may be grown on a trellis as they find 
support through numerous tendrils. Grows 6 to 8 feet in height and 
produces numerous flower stems 12 inches in length with large re¬ 
flexed lily-like flowers, opening yellow but changing to orange-red 
and deep scarlet. The tubers should be planted in a warm sunny 
situation or to insure early growth they may be started inside. In 
fall the tubers should be lifted and placed in dry sand in a warm 
cellar for the winter. 75c each, 3 for $2.00, $7.50 per doz. 
GLOXINIAS 
Handsome summer-flowering, tuberous-rooted plants adapted for 
pot culture. One bulb should be used for a 4-in. pot, using properly 
mixed soil and care being taken in watering.
