This beautiful new race of Streptocarpus originated at Kew Gardens, and has been greatly improved by hybridiz- ation and selection, and is now offered in a great variety of striking and beautiful colors. These new hybrids are re- markable for their abundance of bloom and thecontinuous succession in which the flowers are produced for about four months in summer and early autumn, and also for the long time the individual flowers last in perfection. The plant is a greenhouse perennial of dwarf, neat habit, grow- ing about 9 inches high. Seedling plants produced from two to five bloom on a stem the first season, and generally throw up fifteen to twenty-five flower spikes. As the plant becomes older and stronger the flowers are produced in greater abundance. If seed is sown in January and February, the plants come into bloom the following June and July, and con- tinue flowering freely until the end of September and October. No. 65SS. Per pkt. 60 cts.
