GLOXINIA 
Sown from January to July, with good treatment they will bloom within seven 
months of sowing. They must be sown on a very fine surface; peat- moss, loam 
and sand in equal proportions is ideal. Temperature must be 65° to 70°, and 
seedlings appear in 10 to 14 days. Prick off as soon as they have developed 
their first two leaves and continue to shift as needed until in the 5" size 
pot. For potting soil, use 1 part fibrous loam, 1 part leaf-mould, and 1 of 
peat with enough sharp sand to keep the drainage perfect. During the entire 
growing period give moist conditions and shade from all bright sunshine. It 
is also well to syringe between the pots twice a day, rather than above.
