The tuberous-rooted Begonia has become a plant of great import¬ 
ance, owing to the rapid improvement it has undergone. No garden or 
greenhouse can be considered complete without it. 
Tubers may be started into growth from January onwards. They 
should be put into a medium temperature. Place them in boxes filled 
with leaf-mould, and as soon as the tubers are started pot into small 
pots in a mixture of equal parts of leaf-soil and loam, with the addi¬ 
tion of a little silver sand. After a few weeks again re-pot them, this 
time into their flowering pots, using a compost of about two parts 
rich loam, one part leaf-mould, with a little sand and some broken 
charcoal and dried cow manure. Pot moderately firm, and place in 
a cool house, keeping it close for a few days until root action com¬ 
mences, afterwards giving ample air.

This beautiful flowering plant is very popular and exceedingly 
attractive in conservatory decoration. It has been greatly improved 
in the size and colours of the blossoms in recent years, and includes 
almost every shade. When grown from tubers they are treated like 
the Begonia, although during the younger stages of growth they 
prefer a moist, warm atmosphere. The soil recommended should. 
be of a rich, loamy description, mixed with sand and leaf-mould. Plants 
may be fed with weak liquid manure up to the time the buds 
appear.
