BEGONIA, Vernon. 
Begonias are very pop- 
ular and require only a 
little care to grow the 
plants from seed. Sow 
seed in February or 
March in pots, on a surface of fine soil, cover the pot with 
glass, and keep in a warm but shaded place, taking great care 
not to wash out the young plants in watering. The plants 
will give an abundance of bloom the first year, and at the 
end of the season they 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.
