Giant Double-flowering 
Begonia 
BEGONIAS, Tuberous-Rooted 
We offer an especially fine strain of truly giant¬ 
flowering varieties. They succeed best in rather moist 
soil and in a shady situation. Excellent for bedding out 
under trees; they will brighten many a shady spot where 
no other flowers will succeed. To have them in bloom' 
in May, start the tubers in the hotbed or coldframe in 
February or March in pots or boxes. A light peaty soil 
is most suitable, and until roots have formed, water 
sparingly. The temperature of the frames should be at 
least 60 to 70 degrees. The plants qq,n'be bedded out 
as soon as all danger of frost is past (about May 25 to 
June 1), at which time they will be in bud or blooming; 
set from 10 to 12 inches apart. The tubers may also be 
planted in the ground the middle of May or even later, 
for blooms during August and until frost.
