GLORY PEA.— See Clianthus. 
GLOXINIA —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 tem- 
perature of 75 deg., and cover the pan9 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 
tad broken charcoal.

most beautiful spotted or marbled kinds, and is the finest we

the edges of the blooms being of a light carmine, gradually 
shading to a deeper tone towards the throat. The habit is 
robust and erect.

of immense size. In colour it is a deep-velvety purple, with ■

robust habit leave nothing to be desired. The flowers, although 
large, are held erect on exceptionally strong stems.
