Begonias are very 

 popular and require 

 oiily a little care to 

 grow the plauts from seed. Sow seed in February or 

 March in pots on a surface of fine soil and cover with glass. 

 Take great care not to wash out the young plants in water- 

 ing; they will give au abundance of bloom the first year. 

 At the end of the season the plants may be dried off by 

 withholding water, the tubers kept in a dry place, free from 

 frost, and planted the following spring, when they will 

 bloom more freely than ever.
