R" b oT"J Begonias 
A Beautiful House Plant

size, ranging 1 from 2 to 4 and even 6 inches 
across, with some of the single ones perfectly 
smooth, while others are fluted or distinctly 
fringed. The colors are delightfully vivid and

When grown outside, the Tuberous Rooted 
Begonias should be taken up before cold weather, 
spread out to dry, and be packed awa>y in boxes 
of dry sand and stored through winter in some 
cool place, yet not where frost can reach them.

until well started. They delight in a partially 
shaded location in soil composed of leaf mold, 
sand and well rotted manure. Water frequently
