just as easily. 
<< Breathtaking GLOXINIAS 
Delivery—January and February 
One of the loveliest of home pot plants: as easily grown as the popular 
African Violet and similar to it in habit of growth. The gorgeous blooms, 
however are much larger—3 inches or more across—and infinitely more 
colorful. The foliage is rich and attractive and of a velvety silver-green color. 
We have selected three of the most striking varieties and offer bulbs of 
these with the full assurance that you can grow them successfully in your 
own home. A single bulb planted in a 6-inch pot, will give a display that 
you'll never forget. Start them in January or February and grow them in 
the house when the weather is cool and on the porch or in the shaded out- 
door living room during the warm Summer months,
