Tuberous-rooted Begonias. 
DOUBLE-FLOWERED VARIETIES. 
The Double-flowered Begonias, with their grand massive blooms, and their wonderful variety of 
exquisite colours, ranging through all the most beautiful shades of scarlet, crimson, salmon, rose, and 
yellow, to the purest white, are eminently suited for pot culture. They are easily grown, and when in 
bloom form magnificent objects for the greenhouse or conservatory. 
The best soil for growing Begonias in pots is a good compost of turfy loam, leaf mould, and some coarse sand. Pot the tubers, any 
size, as early as convenient in Spring, in rather small pots with good drainage, and place in a warm greenhouse. Keep fairly moist, and 
take care that the heat is not too forcing. As growth advances, keep near the glass, and give plenty of air on warm days. Shift into 
larger pots as the plants require, and give them a watering with liquid manure about twice a week. When blooming is over in Autumn, 
the tubers should be gradually dried off, and when quite dormant, they should be placed in dry soil, and put in any dry cellar or cupboard 
out of the reach of frost till again wanted for starting.
