GLOXINIA 
PANZER SCARLET——Originator’s Seed 
We are happy to again offer (after 10 years’ ab- 
sence from the market) originator’s seed of this 
noted strain. This deep, bright velvety red is the 
color in Gloxinias—Mr. Panzer produces many 
thousands of Gloxinias for shipping and offers 
this color only. The originator’s strain has been 
reselected by Mr. Panzer and is now offered with 
assurance that it has no peer in commercial Glox- 
inia seed strains. 
Tr. pkt., $3.00; 5 tr. pkts., $13.50. 
Try Gloxinias from seed. A December sowing (70° ‘and 
very light or no coyering for best germination), carried along at 
65° during the winter will make lovely 5-inch blooming plants in 
June. Suggest soil made of 1/3 peat, 1/3 light organic soil and 
1/3 sand. Shade lightly and water with care not ever to let them 
dry out. Keep them growing. 3-inch spacing in flats or open beds 
is O.K. instead of small pots for first transplanting. 25,000 seeds 
per 1/32 oz.
