I his period. Hence, if the atmosphere 

 of the house is kept warm and fully 

 charged with moisture, the newly- 

 potlod Begonias will soon make good 

 growth. 



Watering must never be done care- 

 lessly, and special attention is required 

 at this stage. While it is necessary to 

 keep the whole l)all of soil moist, it 

 must never be<:ome wet. It were l>etter 

 to let the plants depend mainly, for a 

 time on the moisture of the atmos- 

 phere. Ill due season an increase in 

 the amount of water afforded, in pro- 

 portion a.s growth advances, will be- 

 come necessary. 



Si.\-inch pots are the largest used for 

 these Begonias, and grand specimens 

 for use in the house or for conserva- 

 tory decoration can be grown in recep- 

 tacles of this size. 



Begonia Gloire de Lorraine com- 

 mences flowering in November and con- 

 inues until the end of Deceml>er. This 

 is followed by the winter flowering B. 

 John Heal, which is at its best by 

 Christmas and is passing fair even at 

 the end of January. By this time, B. 

 Gloire de Larraine var. amabllis is in 

 grand form and retains its loveliness 

 until Gloire de Sceaux completes a se- 

 quence of much beauty and great use- 

 fulness. 



Of the winter flowering Begonias, B 

 John Heal is the variety mostly grown 

 here. The large, single flowers, of a 

 brilliant rose-carmine color, are pro- 

 fusely borne on large or small plants. 

 So accommodating is this variety that 

 a good stock is easily raised. In pro- 

 pagation and cultivation the conditions 

 as previously stated for Begonia Gloire 

 de Lorraine are adopted and the re- 

 sults encourage me to continue them. 

 Propagation may also be effected from 

 auxiliary shoots which are freely pro- 

 duced if the plants have been properly 

 rested after flowering. Drying off is 

 bad practice. Plants that have been 

 properly cared for during the resting 

 period commence growth freely and 

 give abundance of early cuttings. After 

 two or three years' growth tubers are 

 formed, which may be treated very 

 much in the same manner as those of 

 the summer-flowering Begonias.
