96 HOME FLORICULTURE 



out of the pots in fall and store in sand or sawdust, 

 but I have come to the conclusion that leaving them 

 in the pots where they grew during summer is the 

 safest plan, if one is careful to dry them off well 

 before putting them away. Of course they should not 

 be stored in a place where the air is so dry that the 

 tubers will be withered. There should be just enough 

 moisture furnished to keep them in a plump condition 

 while resting. 



Tuberous Begonias 



These plants arc revelations to us. They arc a 

 "new departure" in the Begonia line and convince us 

 thai still greater surprises are in store for us from this 

 wonderfully versatile family. They come in a wide 

 range of colors, many of them being as rich and deep 

 in tone as the darker Geraniums, while some are 

 exceedingly delicate in coloring. Some are double, 

 some single — all showy, and sure to attract attention. 

 They require the same treatment in all particulars as 

 the Gloxinia.
