crrrre IMPORTED Belgium Gloxinia TUBERS 22-222 
FLOWN DIRECT from our Grower’s Nursery by 
AIR EXPRESS 
The following named varieties of Belgium Grown Gloxinia Tubers 
are well known to thousands of Gloxinia fans throughout the 
country, as they have been extremely popular for more than a 
generation. 
But there is a tremendous difference between various growers’ 
stocks of the same named hybrids. Several of Belgium’s leading 
growers have developed far superior strains by years of breeding 
improvements, by discarding all plants with inferior qualities 
during the blooming season, and by growing them under the finest 
conditions possible. 
You will find our selected Belgium strains are superior in every 
way to all other strains on the market. The colors are clearer and 
pure. The flowers are more perfectly formed, with wider flaring 
petals and deeper throats. The plants grown from our Belgium 
tubers are very vigorous and free flowering, with good strong 
flower stems, and many flowers open at a time. 
And of course every one of our Belgium Tubers are subject to 
your approval during the blooming season. So you will have the 
opportunity of comparing the superior qualities yourself.

AIR EXPRESS SHIPMENTS FROM BELGIUM 
bring you many advantages 
Usually Belgium Gloxinia Tubers are not available commercially to 
Indoor Gardeners until February or March. But our grower has 
perfected a method of growing his tubers on specially prepared soil 
so that they can be harvested earlier, and properly cured in a 
shorter length of time. Then Air Express brings them to this 
country without delay in 24 hours. 
So we can supply you with vigorous, plump, healthy tubers — 
freshly harvested and cured —in early November, that will be 
much easier for you to grow, and that will produce far more 
beautiful plants than other tubers on the market. 
Air Express Tubers are really bursting with vigor. Regular tubers 
shipped by boat have lost a great deal of their vigor. 
When these fresh Air Express Tubers arrive in East Aurora we 
immediately store them in damp peat moss, at just the right tem- 
perature so they remain in absolutely perfect condition throughout 
the entire shipping season from early November through April of 
the following year. No matter what part of the season you order 
from us you will receive tubers in the same perfect condition. 
Tubers shipped by boat always arrive in this country in a partially 
dried condition, and are never in peak vigorous condition at any 
time during the season. This lack of vigor has caused most of the 
trouble gardeners have been experiencing in starting tubers into 
healthy growth. 
Your growing difficulties are completely forgotten when you plant 
our superior Air Express tubers. 
Due to the extra costs of growing incurred by our growers’ special’ 
methods, and the extra costs of Air Express, our fine tubers are 
slightly higher in costs per tuber — but the cost in relation to 
the superior results actually makes them lower in cost compared 
with other tubers that produce only partial results. x 
And ... everyone of our tubers are guaranteed throughout 
the entire blooming season. Not only guaranteed to 
arrive in perfect condition and start into healthy 
growth ... but also to bloom, and to produce flowers 
that are satisfactory to you in every way. During 
the blooming season if you are dissatisfied with the 
quality or colors of the blossoms in any way, the 
tubers will be replaced at no charge during the 
next shipping season. 
You cannot find more complete protection than this. 
We can give it to you only because of the known 
quality of our superior stock.
