GLOXINIAS 
The culture of Gloxinias resemble 
that of the Tuberous Begonias in their 
care and the fact that they multiply 
through tubers and seeds, however, 
they will not bloom well outdoors. 
They flower in many beautiful colors . 
and have huge blossoms that make 
excellent house plants. 
Gloxinias need warmth and light to 
produce strong plants. They require 
light watering and care should be 
taken to avoid wetting the flowers. It 
is best to give the Gloxinias a rest 
period through the winter and then 
start them again in the spring. The 
seedlings planted in May will bloom in 
folys 
Thrips and aphids will attack Glox- 
inias but may be controlled by various 
sprays made for that purpose. 
Through our many years of hybrid- 
izing Gloxinias we have taken first 
prize in all our displays and made 
our hybrids World Famous.

CALLA LILY 
The Calla Lily will grow in all types 
of soil; however, a well-drained sandy 
loam is preferred. Heavy soils may be 
improved by applying leaf mold or 
sandy loam. 
Summer blooming Calla lilies should 
be planted as early as one’s locality 
will permit in the spring. Winter 
flowering Callas may be planted in 
the fall or early spring in severe 
climates. 
The - bulbs: “may remain, in’ “the 
ground for three years. They should 
then be dug and separated. In areas 
of severe winters it is well to cover 
the ground thoroughly with a good 
mulch or dig them each season when 
the plant has become dormant.
