1955—Giant Streptocarpus Hybrids 
Here is a new race of Giant Streptocarpus Hy- 
brids that will be eye-openers to many who grow 
fine window plants. For thirty years the European 
plant breeders have been hybridizing and select- 
ing, using the finest known species and -varieties ; 
and these earnest efforts have resulted in a mag- 
nificent strain of Hybrids, the flowers of which 
are surpassingly beautiful in size, form, rich and 
varied colors, and free and continuous blooming. 
The foliage too has been more or less improved. 
As easily raised from seed as Gloxinias. The 
seeds are of Gloxinia size, so of course, must be 
earefully sown. Started in early spring, the 
plants will begin to bloom in August and con- 
tinue freely in bloom till winter. The flowers are 
trumpet shaped, about 2” long, very graceful, and 
wonderfully varied in color, ranging from white 
to rich blue and crimson, the throat and lower 
segments often splashed with white or purple. If 
you grow Gloxinias and Calceolarias, don’t fail 
to get this. 
2014—THEA Sinensis, Tea Plant. hhp. Beautiful,
