Hardy Gloxinia - Oncarvillea Delavayi 
A native of China, these are not as often seen as they deserve. We offered them for several years 
and then, because of shortage in seed supply, we had to miss them for a time, A limited supply is again 
available. They have been of much interest to many of our gardeners. 
Plants are about 2 feet high and flowers are rather large, rose-purple with a yellow tube. While 
incorrectly called a Gloxinia, they do resemble them in growth. They thrive in a rich, light soil that 
is well drained and in a sunny border. Suitable for all outdoor culture they may require some winter 
protection in the extreme north and must have good drainage in winter anywhere. 
SEEDS: Packet of about 300 seeds, $1.00; 3 packets for $2.50. 
WALLFLOWER - PERENNIAL 
A subject that deserves more attention by the American gardener. They are widely used in European 
gardens and give much bright color in the garden when few other flowers are in bloom in early spring 
and not many at that time have their flashing colors. They like a sweet, loamy soil in sun or semi- 
shade, the latter preferably. Sow the seeds in summer or early fall or they may be started in a cold 
greenhouse in spring. Blooms spring following fall planting and will make a beautiful display for 
several years, 
BACCHUS: Large flowers of pure wine-red on plants 18 to 20 inches high. Very attractive. 
COVENT GARDEN: Immense spikes of brilliant crimson. Plants about 20 inches high. 
GOLDEN KING: Plants 22 inches high with large flowers of deep, golden yellow.
