It may be asserted without fear of contradiction that no flower for exhibition produces a greater effect than 
a first-class group of Gloxinias. The superb mixture we offer under the name Invincible is magnificent. It

tipped, ringed, and shaded varieties, together with the most beautiful spotted or marbled kinds, and is the finest

drained pans from January to March (or in the autumn), fill the pans with soil consisting of a mixture of 
half peat and half leaf mould, with a small quantity of pulverised charcoal and silver sand sifted very line, to within half an inch of the 
rim ; water with fine rose, then sow the seed thinly, taking care not to cover it with soil ; place in a tempeiature of 75 ” C S-’ and cover 
the pans with a piece of shaded glass, gradually removing the same as the seedlings progress. When large enough to handle, prick on 
into pans at about one inch apart, then pot off into single pots. Many will soon attain the requisite strength to go into 5 inch 01 48 
pots, and will bloom in August and September of the same year. The potting-off soil should consist of one-half good loam, one-half 
fibrous peat, with a good sprinkling of sand and broken charcoal.
