GLOXINIAS 
These brilliantly colored flowers are easily grown by anyone. In fact, 
we do not know of any other house plant which responds so quickly 
and easily to the simplest of care and treatment. Their gorgeous 
velvety flowers last for months and make a stunning effect between 
the soft handsome leaves. The bulbs may be planted from early Feb- 
ruary until late May to provide for a succession of flowers. Place one 
bulb in a 5-inch pot filled with good, rich, sandy loam. Cover bulb 
about one inch, water sparingly. Place at once in warm, sunny win- 
dow or conservatory. Growth is quite thick. After flowering save the 
bulbs to be used again another season becaust they can be used 
over and over for many years.
