should be given but little water until 

 active root growth commences. As soon as the pots are 

 filled with roots, they should be shifted on at once into 

 the pots they are intended to flower in, as frequent 

 shifts would more or less damage their leaves, which 

 have a tendency to cling round the sides of the pots. 

 The first batch should come into flower in June. When 



carefully grown Gloxinias are particularly free from 

 insect pests or fungous diseases, and the sime tubers can
