BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



GLOXINIA. 



A charming class of summer-blooming bulbs, which succeed with ordi- 

 nary 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 produce their lovely flowers from June to September. After planting the bulbs in a 

 mixture 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 supplied 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.
