I h»d a 5s. packet of your Gloxinia, thia summer, and have got over 400 plants in " 60" pots, and several showing for bloom 
I should almost think this is as many as anyone could get from such a small quantity of seed."— Mr. W Cahill East Ham' 
A ugust nth, 1907. ’ 1 
Culture .— Sow in well-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 fine 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 temperature of 75 deg., and cover the pans with a piece of shaded glass 
gradually removing the same as the seedlings progress. When large enough to handle, prick off inlo pans at 
about one inch apart, then pot off into single pots. Many will soon attain the requisite strength to go into 5-inch 
or 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.
