Gloxinia PLANTS 
THE EASIEST AND FASTEST WAY TO RAISE 
GLOXINIAS is to start with our started plants, well 
rooted and actively growing in individual 2%" shipping 
pots. All you have to do upon arrival is transplant to any 
regular 5” clay pot, and the plants continue to grow and 
thrive right in your own living room. 
ANYONE CAN GROW GLOXINIAS SUCCESSFULLY 
under average home conditions. By starting with these 
fine vigorous plants, and by carefully following the easy- 
to-follow complete growing instructions prepared by us 
and included with every shipment. 
Why You Receive Your Plants in Such 
Perfect Condition 
We have pioneered in the growing and shipping of started 
plants. After years of careful study and experimentation, 
and endless trial shipments we devised our own method 
of growing and packing that has revolutionized the selling 
of actively growing plants by mail. 
We have shipped thousands of husky young seedlings each 
year to all parts of the United States in perfect condition. 
We are continuously receiving letters from our many 
friends expressing their delight with the fresh, vigorous 
plants received, and marveling at the way they continue 
right on growing in their own homes, just as though they 
had been picked up at a local greenhouse that same day. 
Superbly Packed for Safe Shipment Anywhere 
We wish it were possible for you to see how very, very 
carefully each plant for your order is handled and packed 
by well trained personnel. Each plant is especially pre- 
pared with damp moss at the top of the pot to hold it 
secure, then individually wrapped in wax paper plus 
other layers of paper to keep it moist and fresh during 
the trip—and snugly fitted into just the right size box. 
Strong-rooted, actively growing plants, ready to 
ship to any part of the United States. 
Direct from the Greenhouse to you. 
AVAILABLE IN MIXTURE ONLY of more than 
50 different color combinations and dramatic 
effects.

Gloxinia TUBERS 
(bulbs to some folks) 
During the blooming season each year when thousands of 
magnificent plants turn our greenhouse into a veritable 
fairyland of color, we spend days tagging superior exhibi- 
Hon : sg with blooms of exceptional color, form and 
quality. 
Each one of these specially tagged plants is grown to 
maturity or until the tubers are fat and well developed. 
Then the tubers are harvested and properly cured for 
just the right length of time. Only hybrids of outstand- 
ing exhibition quality are included.
