Plump and Healthy Gloxinia T UBERS 
Although the easiest way to start growing Gloxinias is with our actively growing 
plants, tubers present no problems, and are considered very easy to grow by the 
thousands of fans that enjoy them every year. Ours are particularly easy to grow 
because they are harvested with their roots intact just before shipment. 
We carry an excellent selection of choice Gloxinia Tubers for Gloxinia lovers who 
desire specific colors, combinations of colors, and different types. 
For best results Gloxinia Tubers must be plump, full of vitality, and contain a relative degree of moisture. To keep 
them in just the right condition we have developed a special method of packing and shipping that is actually 
the finest in the country. Each of your tubers is packed carefully in damp moss and properly wrapped so that 
it reaches you in perfect moist condition, bursting with vitality and ready to grow. Complete easy-to-follow 
growing instructions are sent with your shipment. 
ececceeeeeee2BUELL’S Beautifal New Hybrid Gloxinia TUBERS=<- 
Selected in bloom during the growing season personally by Albert H. Buell 
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 exhibition plants with blooms of ex- 
ceptional 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 har- 
vested and properly cured for just the right length of time. Only 
hybrids of outstanding exhibition quality are included.

SLIPPER TYPE Gloxinia TUBERS 
Flowers of the Slipper Type Gloxinias are gracefully curved in the 
trumpet-throat like a large Foxglove. They are rapidly gaining in 
popularity because of their gracefulness, profusion of blossoms, and 
long blooming period. Individual blossoms are not as large as the 
regular hybrids, but this quality adds much to their charm and 
daintiness. 
We have been devoting a considerable amount of time to the hybrid- 
izing of Slipper Gloxinias, and although our collection is still limited 
in scope it is still the most extensive in the world — and it includes 
colors that have never been seen before in slipper types. 
VERY LIMITED IN SUPPLY 
S-1 Shades of delicate blue. Small flowered, dainty and exquisite. 
S-2 Shades of Royal purple-blue. Relatively large flowered and 
handsome.
