exhibition produces a greater effect than a first-class group of Gloxinias. The superb mixture we offer under 
the name Invineible is magnificent. It contains all the best self-colours, crimson, sapphire, purple, rose, 
blush, violet, white, &c., also the finest edged, tipped, ringed, and shaded varieties, together with the most

ponsisting of d mixture of half peat and half leaf mould, with a small quantity of pulverised charcoal and silver 
sand sifted very fine to within half an inch of the rim ; water with fine rose, then sow the seed thinly, taking care 
pot to cover it «Mth soil ; place in a temperature of 75 deg., and cover the pans with a piece of shaded glas.s. 
gradually removing, the same as the seedlings progress. When large enough to handle, prick off into pans at 
about one inch apart, then pot off into single pots. Many will soon attain the requisite strength to go into 5-mch or 
48 pots, and will bloom in August and September of the same year. The potting-off soil should consist qf cipp. 
half good loam, one-half fibrous peat, with a good sprinkling of sand and broken charcoal,
