AMAZONICA. The rare and exotic “Amazon Lily” from Brazil. A real aristocrat of great beauty 
for pot culture in the north, or garden culture in warmer sections. The handsome evergreen foliage 
is a crisp contrast to the deliciously scented pure white flowers of rich waxy texture. The 4” flowers 
are borne several to a stem and in great profusion. In appearance it is much like a huge white daf- 
fodil. Lovely for cutting. May be brought into bloom at various seasons.

The Gesneria family consists of several species of tuberous-rooted plants having soft, heart-shaped 
leaves and brilliant tubular flowers in clusters. They have become an item much sought after by ©

exchange of knowledge concerning them. The culture is exactly the same as for Tuberous begonias.

3 species should be stored in a warm place in the pots in which they have been grown and watered
