GLOXINIA CRASSIFOLIA GRANDIFLORA. 
A charming class of summer blooming 
bulbs, which sueceed with ordinary care. 
They should be grown in a moderately shady 
place, as the sun burns the foliage when wet, 
making brown spots appear. If planted in 
frames, they will thrive admirably and pro- 
duce their lovely flowers from June to Sep- 
tember. After planting the bulbs in a mix- 
ture of fibrous peat, light loam, manure and 
sand in equal parts, they require but little 
heat or water until they show signs of growth, 
when the quantity of moisture and heat may 
be increased. Air should be plentifully sup- 
plied to prevent damping off. When the 
plants have done blooming dry gradually off, 
and keep in pots over winter in a moderately 
warm place, or under the staging of a green- 
house.
