GLOXINIAS 
Gloxinia flowers in many lovely 
colors and huge blossoms make ex- 
cellent house plants. The culture ot 
these flowers closely resemble that of 
the Tuberous Begonias in their care 
and the fact that they propagate 
through tubers and seeds. However, 
the gloxinia will not bloom well out- 
doors. 
Gloxinias need warmth aid light to 
produce strong plants. The »lants re- 
quire light watering and care should 
be taken to avoid wetting the flowers. 
It is best to give the gloxinic a rest 
period through the winter and tnen 
to start them again in the spring. 
Gloxinia seedlings planted in May 
will bloom in July. 
Thrips and aphids will attack Glox- 
inia but may be controlled by various 
sprays made for that purpose. 
Through our many years of hybrid- 
izing gloxinia we have made great im- 
provements on all of the named 
varieties.

DELPHINIUMS 
(PACIFIC STRAIN) 
Delphinium plants are grown in full 
sunlight. They should be planted at 
least two feet apart and preferably 
in loose sandy soil. For best results 
the plants should be well fertilized 
and watered. Severe dryness will 
stunt and weaken the plant. 
We have found that delphinium 
seed sown in flats contdining a mix- 
ture of leaf mold and top soil in 
proportions of 2 to 1 produce good 
results. The seeds are just covered 
with the mixture, watered, and kept 
in darkness until germination starts. 
They are kept in semi-shade during 
germination until the third leaf is form- 
ed well. The plants are hardened in 
full sunlight for a week and are then 
transplanted to beds. The seedlings 
planted about 3 or 4 inches apart 
should be given semi-shade for a 
week. After 5 or 6 weeks of full sun- 
light they are ready for permanent 
planting.
