2 ACHIMENES 3 
Brilliantly hued blossoms rather in the 
Gloxinia reminder, but with intensification 
of velvety coloring. Flowers mostly in de- 
lightful tones of lavender, with variations 
from mauve to purple. Achimenes starts 
blooming in late spring, giving then several 
months of flowers. Usually it is grown as 
a pot plant, blooming year after year, the 
tubers increasing freely. It also does well 
in the garden if put in a lightly shaded 
position and kept well watered. The tubers 
are naturally rather tiny, and dry quickly 
when exposed to air, so we now supply 
them only in soil, actually growing, or 
ready to grow. We plant at least four in 
' each pot, and guarantee at least three good 
ones (but there may be more). We offer 
fo each lot of 3 started roots (in soil), enough 
ow for a medium pot, for 60c, 3 lots, being at 
least 9 roots, for $1.45; 10 lots (at least 30 roots) for $4.50. 
Available early April, through June. Illustrated opposite. 
SEEDS OF ACHIMENES—We offer Achimenes Hybrids in 
seed form. New varieties and colorings of merit should come 
from this. Seeds are tiny. Pkt. $1.00.
