GLOXINIA] 
OLOXIIMIA 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 degs., 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 1 in. apart, then pot off into single pots. 
Many will soon attain the requisite strength to go into 5-in. 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 
No. charcoal.
