The seed should be sown in heat at end of winter to produce strong flowering plants in the summer, in pans of 
very fine soil. Prick off the seedlings into pans and pot off later. Care should lie used when sowing, as the seed is very 
fine. We can also supply tubers ready to start into growth in early spring. See page 262. 
These Begonias are invaluable for growing in beds ami groups ; also for pot culture. They come into bloom very 
early, and last all the season. 
For Double varieties, see page 159. For dry roots, see page 262.
