GLOXINIA 
This is, perhaps, one of the handsomest

window-garden it Is excellent. The main points 
to observe are: proper care in watering, good 
drainage, and properly mixed soil. The cul- 
tural directions given for begonias might 
also be followed for starting and growing 
Gloxinias. One bulb is usually used for a 
4-inch pot.
