GLOXINIA [tP-10 in.] Properly these gorgeous plants are house or 

 conservatory subjects, but with a little care the flower lover can 

 grow them. Dark green, plush-like leaves form a handsome base 

 topped by numerous stalks of large trumpet-shaped flowers. These 

 are of velvety texture and rich colors, including purplish-violet, 

 crimson, pink, and lilac, usually with 

 light throats beautifully spotted. The 

 plants grow best in cool surroundings 

 and rich moist soil.
