TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS 
Succeed best in a rather moist soil and in a shady sit- 
uation. Start the tubers in the hotbed or coldframe in 
February or March, either singly in small pots, or in 
boxes. A light peaty soil is most suitable; until new 
roots have formed, water but sparingly. The tempera- 
ture in the frame should be at least 60 to 70 degrees. The 
started plants are set out in beds as soon as the ground 
is warm and all danger of frost is past (about June 1) 
at which time they should be in bud or in bloom; set 
from 10 to 12 inches apart. The tubers may also be 
planted in the open ground the middle of May, or even 
later, with excellent results, but will bloom later.
