CARTERS' “INVINCIBLE” GLOXINIAS GROWING FOR SEED AT OUR CRYSTAL PALACE NURSERIES. 
No. 579. GLOXINIA, CARTERS’ “INVINCIBLE” PRIZE. —Superb Mixture. Per packet, 2s. 6d. and 5s. 
It may be asserted without fear of contradiction that no flower for exhibition produces a greater effect than a first-class group 
of Gloxinias, and for fifty years they have been a leading feature in all the principal Flower Shows throughout the Kingdom and 
on the Continent. The original drooping varieties of America were beautiful, but have yielded the pride of place to the glorious 
erect and giant kinds now in cultivation. Continuous effort is being devoted to the production of grander specimens every year ; 
the best are detailed below. Our exhibit at the Richmond Flower Show and elsewhere was pronounced matchless. The superb 
mixture we offer under the name “ Invincible ’ is admittedly the best to be obtained. It contains all the best self-colours, crimson, 
sapphire, purple, rose, blush, violet, white, &c., also the finest edged, tipped, ringed, and shaded varieties, together with the most 
beautiful spotted or marbled kinds, and it CANNOT BE SURPASSED.

Culture. —Sow in well-drained pans from January to March (or in the Autumn), fill the pans with soil consisting of a mixture of half peat and half leaf mould, with 
1 small quantity of pulverised charcoal and silver sand sifted very fine to within half an inch of the rim ; water with a fine rose, then sow the seed thinly, taking care not to 
cover it with soil ; place in a temperature of 75 deg., and cover the pans with a piece of shaded glass, gradually removing the same as the seedlings progress. When large 
enough to handle, prick off into pans at about one inch apart, then pot off into single pots. Many will soon attain the requisite strength to go into 5-inch or 48 pots, and will 
bloom in August and September of the same year. The potting-off soil should consist of one-half good loam, one-half fibrous peat, with a good sprinkling of sand and 
•broken charcoal.
