We have established a reputation on the quality of 
our B(‘gonias. The size and quality of the bulbs we 
ship should l)c suffieient guarantee of their superiority 
in quality. 
('uUure .—The tulwrs may be started in February or 
March. The soil should l>e light, containing plenty of 
leaf mould and sand. In planting, rare should be taken 
to set the crown of tlie tuber, whicli is usually somewhat 
depressed, tipward. The tubers should l )0 covered half 
an inch with light soil and watered sparingly until they 
start, aft(‘r which more water may be given. Tlie tem¬ 
perature should be (30 to 70 degrees. The started plants, 
when intended for bedding pur|)oses, may be transferred 
to the Ix^ds in the open ground early in June, by which 
time they should lx* in bloom. The i)lants should be set 
10 or 12 inches a})art. 
.Mtljough there is much to Ixi gained by starting the 
tubers early as just descrilx*d, they may bo planted un¬ 
started in tlie open ground lx‘ds in the last week of May or 
later, with excellent n^sult^j.
