Achimenes.--Place the tubers thickly in pans, to be potted singly as
they appear, in equal portions of leaf mould and sandy loam; to be
started into growth in a moderate bottom heat.
Gloxinias.--Select a few varieties. To be shaken out, and fresh potted
in equal parts of turfy loam and heath soil and a little sand. To be
excited in bottom heat.
Gesnera zebrina.--Those which were first in flower should be dried off
for early work next season. This is to be done by withholding water
gradually, and by keeping their foliage still exposed to the light.
Sow seeds of Egg Plants, Cockscombs, Amaranths, and other such tender
annuals in heat, to grow them in good time into fine specimens for the
adornment of the conservatory in summer.
