THE “WONDER” 
Carters Invincible Prize Gloxinia, exhibited at the Great 
London Flower Shows,, awarded many Gold Medals. 
GLOXINIA BULBS. 
This beautiful flowering plant is very popular and 
exceedingly attractive in conservatory decoration. It has 
been greatly improved in the size and colours of the 
blossoms in recent years, and includes almost every shade. 
When grown from tubers they are treated somewhat like 
the Begonia, although during the younger stages of growth 
the plant prefers a moist, warm atmosphere. Directly the 
flower buds commence to burst they may be transferred to a 
drier situation, such as the conservatory staging affords. 
The soil recommended should be of a rich, loamy description, 
mixed with sand and leaf-mould, and they may be fed 
with liquid manure up to the time the buds appear. 
Our stock of invincible Prize Gloxinias embraces the 
greatest variety of colouring and form, including rich 
crimson, white and blue grounds, elegantly mottled, and a 
great variety of beautiful parti and self colours. The flowers 
are of immense substance, and will be found immeasurably 
superior to other strains. 
If by parcel post add postage at zone rates ; weight 4 lb. per 100.
