ACHIMENES 
Brilliant blossoms of Gloxinia form, with intensification of 
rich, velvety coloring. There are purples, crimsons, an occa- 
sional mauve. Achimenes are mostly grown in large pots. 
A pot of Achimenes is a thing of blooming beauty all sum- 
mer long. Achimenes can be grown in the garden too, if not 
allowed to suffer from drought. It likes a trifle of shade, but 
even without it, will make a bright garden showing. Nov.
