Culture for Gloxinias 
Start bulbs in 4-inch pots using a mixture of leaf mold, sand, and a little well 
rotted cow manure. As the leaves appear keep shaded and be very careful with 
the watering. Examine each plant and do not water unless they appear dry. Keep 
leaves dry although on a hot day they may be moistened early in the morning, 
but do not wet them every day. While they want a little shade do not overdo it 
or you will get all foliage and no flower. May also be planted directly outdoors 
in a sheltered spot as soon as all danger of frost is over.
