BEGONIAS 
Begonias are valuable for pots and bedding 
out; especially adapted for slightly shady 
places. Seed should be sown from January 
to March in brisk heat in shallow, well- 
drained seed pans, filled with a compost of 
leaf-mould, loam, and sand. Cover the 
seed pans with glass to prevent rapid evap¬ 
oration at the outset. Prick off when very 
small, and pot when large enough into 
3 inch pots, giving a shift into larger size 
when necessary.
