Clibrans’ Begonias Tuberous Rooted. 
Careful fertilisation and selection over a period of many years has resulted in Tuberous Begonias 
of the highest excellence. Our aim has been to produce dwarf habit, freedom in the production of 
large flowers in clear and well-defined colours and shades carried upright on stout stems. In this 
we have succeeded. We cordially invite inspection when in bloom from the beginning of July until 
the middle of September. 
CULTURAL NOTE. — Begonia tubers should be started into growth any time from February 
to March, the tubers intended for bedding being placed in boxes. A mixture of good loam, leaf 
mould, and coarse sand, with well-rotted manure, is the best compost. Pot firmly, placing the 
tubers just below the surface of the soil ; the potting compost should be moistened before use. 
Allow plenty of drainage, and place any rough portions of soil at the bottom over the crocks. Water 
sparingly until the plants are growing freely, and re-pot into larger pots as rc(pnretl. In the growing 
sea-son, especially during hot weather, water freely, and on no account allow the j)lants to become 
dry. Plenty of air and light are essential at all stages of their growth, and when grown under glass 
the flowering plants require to be shaded from the sun during the hottest part of the day. After 
flowering gradually withhold water until the tops die down, 'when the tubers should be placed in 
sand or cocoa fibre, and stored away in a cool dry idace. Examine occasionally to see if anv signs 
of decay.
