GESNERA

Naegelia. Tender perennial





An extremely beautiful ornament for stove or conservatory. The new

hybrids freely produce spikes of bright pendulous flowers of many

charming colours. Although the Gesnera is a perennial, it is sound

practice to treat the plant as an annual. Seedlings from a January

sowing will commence flowering in about nine months. Very rich soil, a

warm and even temperature, and plenty of water, are requisite to promote

luxuriant growth. The culture advised for Gloxinias will exactly suit

the Gesnera also.
