Begonia 
(Tuberous Rooted) 
These are very satisfactory as summer 
bloomers. For outside beds, plant in a 
shaded location, covering the bulbs about 
one-half inch deep. Water lightly until 
growth starts. After the foliage has died 
down in the fall, lift them and store 
in dry sand. Tuberous Begonias make 
very good pot plants. Use a five-inch 
pot for each bulb filled with rich sandy 
loam and give the plants light but not 
direct sun. No bulb is more satisfactory 
for pot culture.
