—Begonias are very popular and 
1 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 and 
cover with glass. Take great care not to wash out the 
young plants in watering; they will give an 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.
