Gorgeous velvety flowers in brilliantly beautiful colors! Glox- 
inias are truly a most wonderful flower. The blooms open to 
2%% to 3 inches across and they come on week after week. And, 
they are about the easiest of all house plants to grow. You can 
plant your Gloxinia bulbs from February until late May and 
have a succession of flowers. 
Use a 5-inch pot and get good rich sandy loam. Plant the bulb 
about one inch deep. Place it in a warm sunny window. Water 
it sparingly until growth appears and then water every day. 
After flowering the bulbs should be saved for planting another 
season and so on for many years. Here are four of the finest.
