Buelli’s New Giant Flowered Hybrids 
In 1949 we acquired the exclusive sales rights for the beautiful new strain of Gloxinias; produced by 
Albert H. Buell of Eastford, Connecticut, over a period of 10 years of extensive hybridization. This 
new strain includes over 50 distinctively different, beautiful color combinations and dramatic effects 
never before available. Plants are exceptionally free flowering and long blooming, and most blooms 
measure between 4’ and 6’’ in diameter. (For more detailed information refer to the feature article 
written by Mr. Buell in the November 1949 issue of FLOWER GROWER magazine. Or write to us 
for a separate reprint of the story.)
