CARTERS SPECIAL SPRING BULB LIST. 
2 .') 
BEGONIAS, 
THE BEGONIA bas become quite popular in recent years. 
One can hardly wonder, when it is considered how much skill has 
brought this about in improving tlie size of the flowers and the 
general habit of the plant. The “Crown Jewels” Begonia 
represents one of the most advanced strains of the day. In addition 
to the tuberous bulbs as offered below, Begonias may be raised 
from seeds sown in spring to make flowering plants in the year 
following, or from dormant tubers potted up in spring in rich soil 
composed of sandy loam and manure. They are now largely used 
for bedding purposes, and very effective they look in such situations 
through the summer months, lasting on until autumn. As soon as 
they lose their foliage at that season, the tubers should be lifted 
and stored away in a shed, either mixed with dry soil, cocoa-nut 
fibre, or covered with straw. Directly they start into new life in 
the spring, pot them up, and they will quickly come along and be 
useful for conservatory decoration during the summer or planted 
out in beds. Begonias will thrive in any good rich porous soil ; 
but what we recommend is, two parts fibrous loam, two parts leaf 
mould, and one part well rotted stable manure; with a liberal 
addition of sand, and the pot should be well drained. F'ew plants 
are more sensitive during the young stages, either in regard to 
over-watering or in being allowed lo become too dry. 
CARTERS NEW FRINGED BEGONIA. 
A magnificent single strain for bedding or for pots. 
Flowers very large and of great substance, with the edges of 
each petal beautifully frilled or fringed. A great improvement on 
the ordinary single Begonia.
