It may be asserted without fear of con- 
tradiction 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 contains all the best self- 
colours, crimson, sapphire, purple, rose, 
blush, violet, white, etc., also the finest 
edged, tipped, ringed, and shaded varie- 
ties, together with the most beautiful 
spotted or marbled kinds, and is the 
finest we have seen.

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 pulverized 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 degrees, 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 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 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.
