Begonias, Tuberous-rooted 
. Words cannot describe the beauty of these gorgeous flowers, 
single or double. One is as fine as the other, and whether the 
color is crimson, pink, scarlet, white, yellow, or salmon, every 
bloom is breath-taking. 
They require shade 
and do best in a 
loose soil with equal 
parts of loam, leaf- 
mold, and sand, kept 
moist but not too 
wet. Start in the hot¬ 
bed, or in barely 
moist sand near the 
furnace, being sure 
the concave side is 
up. Cover with 3^ 
inch of sand and keep 
barely moist; when 
started, pot and keep in a 
sunny window until frost 
danger has passed, then 
plant out, or plant tubers 
outside after all danger of 
frost is past.
