PUDOR’S DESCRIPTIVE SEED LIST 
35 
TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS 
Tuberous-rooted Begonias may now be looked upon as one of the most pop¬ 
ular of summer garden flowers, especially adapted for the decoration of the 
window garden, the veranda, the conservatory, the flower border and beds enjoy¬ 
ing partial shade. 
These tubers may be started any time from January to April, and the best 
method is to place them in shallow boxes containing nice light soil, consisting of 
one part each of loam, leaf mold, and a half part coarse sand. Do not cover the 
crown of the tubers, and water very sparingly until they start into growth. They 
can then be transplanted into individual pots for green house or the home, or can 
be grown successfully outside in a shady location where they will thrive and 
bloom all summer long and in the fall be taken up and stored away in a cellar 
with a temperature of about 50 degree. On no account should they be allowed to 
get dry enough to shrivel or damp enough to rot, while in storage.
