GLOXINIAS 
Gorgeous velvety flowers in brilliantly beau- 
tiful colors! Gloxinias are truly a most won- 
derful flower. The blooms open to 24 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.
