into small pots, and if properly supplied with heat and moisture, 

 the plants will form good roots by the cold season, they must 

 then be allowed to winter, care being taken that rats do not get 

 at the roots which they particularly like. 



Propagation by leaf is simple, almost every part of the leaf will 

 form plants, providing a portion of the midrib is retained in the 

 cutting. Divide the leaves transversely, place them in pots of sand 

 covered with a bell-glass and plunge in heat, in a short time col- 

 losities will form at the base of the cuttings as soon as they have 

 sufficiently started into growth, re-pot them in sand andleaf- mould. 

 Gloxinias do well in small pots. At the end of the rains when the 

 plants begin to show signs of going to rest, gradually diminish the 

 quantity of water, but not so as to let them become quite dormant, 

 some people dry them off altogether; this is not so good a plan, 

 for in drying off the plants and storing them so, many shrivel 

 and die. In May, shake the earth from the roots, trim the leaves, 

 plant them afresh in good soil, consisting of leaf -mould, sandy 

 loam and well-rotted cowdung, water sparingly till the plants 

 appear to start into free growth, then water more freely. 



Glycine Leguminosce, Glycine Sinensis Takes its name from 

 Glykys, sweet, the roots and leaves of most of the species being so, 

 the colour of the flowers which hang in racemes from the axila of 

 the leaves are violet, yellow or purple, grown in any good soil. 



Gnaplialium Compositce, Gnaplialium Eximium. These flowers 

 possess the quality of retaining their colour long after being 

 gathered. The stalk is covered with a whitish down, they are 

 very hardy, both the annual and biennial, the colours are yellow, 

 purple, crimson, yellow and white, in North America, Africa and 

 Egypt, and grow from two to three feet in height. 



Godetia Onagracece, Evening Primrose, Godetia (Enothera. This 

 is a very pretty single-petalled white flower, blossoming only in 

 the evening and towards morning, turns to a pink when it closes 

 and withers. A fresh succession of flowers continues many weeks, 

 even during the hot season. Is propagated by seed, either in pots 

 or beds. The seed may be sown in the rains, soil should be rich.
