BEGONIAS 
(Tuberous Rooted) 
TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS are unexcelled for 
bedding in shady places north side of building and can be 
handled in such locations just as gladiola; lifting the bulbs 
in the fall after frost has killed the foliage; storing them 
in the cellar with dry shavings or peat moss. They re¬ 
quire a deep soil into which some sand and leaf mould 
has been dug. All Begonias like the same treatment.
