RALQAM Balsams maybe sown from the 
beginning to the middle of April 
in pans or on a slight hot bed, in a light rich 
loam compost, keeping the soil moist, but not 
wet. When the plants have formed the second 
pair of leaves they may be transplanted, and 
gradually hardened off for transplanting out of 
doors, or they may be sown out of doors early in 
May. If for pot culture they must be divided and 
transplanted into single pots, once or twice into 
larger pots, picking off the flowers in the earlier 
stages of growth to give greater vigour. Keep 
the plants to a single stem, as the side shoots 
frequently produce semi-double bloom.

TUBEROUS ROOTED. aniums forbedding, 
being quite un- 
affected by heavy rains, a moist atmosphere 
suiting them. For growing in pots this strain is 
superb, producing a very high percentage of really 
first quality perfectly double flowers, equalling 
the best named varieties, but having more 
vigorous constitutions. 
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 
be used when sowing, as the seed is very fine. 
We can also supply tubers ready to start into 
growth in early spring. 
These Begonias are invaluable for growing in 
beds and groups; also for pot culture. They come 
into bloom very early and last all the season.
