DAI CA|U| Balsams may be 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.

strain, the individual blooms being perfect in form and of

BEGONIA. 
TUBEROUS ROOTED. 
Begonias are much superior 
to Geraniums for bedding, 
being quite unaffected by 
heavy rains, a moist atmos- 
phere 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.
