Begonias 
This charming class of Begonias is perhaps the handsomest of 
all summer-flowering, tuberous-rooted plants, and deserves even 
greater popularity. Particularly useful for planting in a semi-shady 
position. Their culture is of the simplest, and with the least regard 
for their requirements they will repay with an abundance and 
brilliancy of bloom not equalled by any other class of plants. Superb 
for the shady city garden. Begonia bulbs will last for ten years if 
taken up each autumn. 
Culture. Early in spring provide a flat box or shallow pan, cover 
the bottom surface with 1 or 2 inches of leaf mold, placing bulbs 
immediately on top, spacing them 2 inches apart. Then cover with 
1 inch of leaf mold and place container in a warm place in full 
light, water freely. Very soon growth will commence, keep bulbs 
growing indoors until leaves have fully developed. Move to a per¬ 
manent place in the garden, preferably in shade, planting 3 inches 
deeper as soon as all danger from freezing is past. Store bulbs in 
winter same as Gladioli.
