We have now a sufficient stock, an.d have also had sufficient experience of the Begonia as a 
bedding plant (our lawn beds and borders having been full of the best during the two last summers) 
to pronounce it as eminently suited to this purpose. Nor are we alone in this opinion ; it is the 
general verdict. Seedlings make a lovely bed; but to have all the plants of one regular height, 
shape, and colour, a Stock must be propagated as one would Zonal Pelargoniums. They can be 
propagated just like Dahlias, by cutting the Tubers at the eyes just after they have started. Plant 
the bulbs ten inches apart, and take them up when the frosts come. This is really all the culture 
needed. Begonia Worthiana has proved itself a good bedder of the small flowering section.
