GLOXINIA 
‘Every year more and more gardeners 
come to realize that Gloxinias are far 
from difficult to grow. In many ways 
they need the same requirements as 
African Violets and there can be no 
question about even rank amateurs 
scoring a wonderful success with them. 
The magnificent, large, beli-shaped 
blooms of Gloxinia are very impressive 
and their colors are velvety rich. 
They are delightful pot plants for 
summer and winter blooming in the 
house. Plant singly in 4 in. pots filled with 
a mixture of equal parts good soil leaf- 
mold, and sharp sand, adding a Byles 
bone meal for good measure. 
Place in a warm window and- keep 
moderately moist throughout the grow- 
ing period. Always keep leaves dry and 
screen against strong sun.’ Mixed colors
