quality geraniums are usually sold or dormant bulbs^ 
in March and April. 
The pot plants only need be planted in the bed 
and will bloom profusely until frost, and the follow¬ 
ing instructions followed: 
CULTURE FOR BEDDING 
These should be grown by everyone, and those 
who have not had the pleasure of seeing the magni¬ 
ficent spectacle presented by well-grown seedling 
Begonias have a great treat in store. During the 
flowering season, which sometimes continues well 
into November, our nurseries are inspected by a 
large number of visitors, who are astonished and 
delighted at the beautiful picture our outdoor beds 
present. The beds intended for these plants should 
be enriched with well-rotted manure, or a good 
dressing of leaf mould, and be roughed up for the 
winter. 
The tubers may be reated as follows: Either 
started early in March in rich light soil in shallow 
boxes, and hardened off ready for planting out in 
June, or be planted out in frames on a mild hotbed, 
and removed to desired positions when all danger of 
frost is past. Failing conveniences for either of 
these methods, good results may be obtained by 
planting the dormant, or slightly sprouted tubers.
