Clibrans' List ok Tuberous Begonias. 
Clibrans’ Tuberous Begonias. 
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 required. In 
the growing season, especially during hot weather, water freely, and on no account allow the 
plants 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 place. 
Examine occasionally to see if any signs of decay.
