BEGONIAS 
This charming class of Begonias is perhaps the hand¬ 
somest of all summer-flowering, tuberous-rooted plants, 
and deserves even greater popularity. Particularly use¬ 
ful 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 bulb 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 devel¬ 
oped. Move to a permanent place in the garden, pre¬ 
ferably in shade, planting 3 inches deeper as soon as 
all danger from freezing is past. Store bulbs in winter 
same as Gladoli.
