GLORIOSA—Pictured Below. 
ROTHSCHILDIANA. An extremely unusual low climbing vine attaining 
a height of about 3 feet. Though considered a novelty in northern gardens 
it is actually easy to grow in a sheltered sunny spot if potted and started 
indoors in March or April. The petals of the gorgeous lily-like blossoms 
are recurved and waved, opening bright golden yellow and crimson, and 
changing to a deep scarlet. In bloom throughout the summer and autumn 
months, it is truly eye-catching, and individual blooms create exquisite 
table decorations. Dig and store tubers like gladiolus. This is a fine plant 
to try in the small greenhouse. Each $1.25, 3 for $3.40 
PLANTI (Virescens var. Planti) 
Flowers are a bit smaller but petals are more fluted and crisped, and in 
greater quantity. Usually blossoms in late summer, thru August and 
September. Color is a clear soft orange. Each $1.35, 3 for $3.75 
GLOXINIAS—Pictured Above. 
Gloxinias are natives of Brazil with richly colored, velvety, bell-shaped 
flowers often marbled or spotted with darker shades. Not the least of 
their beauty is in the large downy, conspicuously veined leaves. The 
tubers should be started the same as Tuberous Begonias but are best 
used as house plants only. After they have finished blooming and the 
leaves have matured, water is gradually withheld so the tubers may ripen 
after which they are stored in sand in a temperature of 45 degrees. Size 
of tubers vary according to the variety, but in all cases we ship the 
best size of plump healthy quality.
