Brachycome iberidifolia 
Begonias 
There are two very distinct classes of 
Begonias used for potting and bedding 
out: The tuberous varieties bear large 
flowers of velvety texture in brilliant 
shades of rose, scarlet, and yellow. The 
fibrous-rooted varieties have smaller 
blooms, usually in tints of pink and red. 
Begonia seed is microscopically small and 
should be sown on the surface of shallow 
seed-pans. The plants should be pricked 
out when very small and protected from 
damping off.
