GLOXINIA 
Although this is a bulb plant and does have some of 
the characteristics of the Tuberous Rooted Begonia 
it is from an entirely different family. The Gloxin- 
ia is house plant and cannot stand outdoor treat- 
ment. These plants like warm weather and plenty of 
fertilizer, and will give fine results when grown to 
be used as a summer-time house plant at one of the 
most difficult times of the year to have brilliant 
colors on a plant for the home.

GLOXINIA CULTURAL DIRECTIONS: 
Gloxinia culture is very similar to that of the Tuber- 
ous-Rooted Begonia in soil requirements and shade 
requirements, but they differ in that the Gloxinia 
should be used as a houseplant, where care is taken 
not to let water touch the foliage, for that will cause 
the leaves ta spot. Upon receipt of Gloxinia plants 
they should be shifted to a larger pot, using Tuber- 
ous Begonia soil, kept in the house in an eastern, 
western, or northern exposure. When watering the 
plant, pour water on the soil and let drain through. 
It is. well to spray Gloxinia plants with a Nicotine 
solution to prevent thrip and aphis. When plants have 
finished blooming, withhold water slowly and set 
aside pot and all in a cool, dry place and forget un- 
til February or March when they may be started 
again. 
If Using Bulbs—when the new sprout appe 
bulb start in sand until well-rooted ad no iy re 
Tuberous Rooted Begonia soil mixture and. treat as. 
above.
