LARGE FLOWERED BEGONIAS 
F R TUP A, P ft P M Our photographs clearly show 
you what may be achieved with 
Begonias in the garden, whereas the natural colors on the front page of this 
Catalog give you a vivid impression of the matchless beauty of the double ones. 
For beds, groups and borders, for edgings along footpaths and walls or in front of 
shrubberies as well as for edging Rose beds, they flower to your entire satisfaction. 
Cultivation. Any soil is suitable, providing it is dug thoroughly. It is however 
advisable to mix the soil with manure, preferably old cow dung. The bulbs may be 
planted in the garden immediately upon receipt and in the beds selected. If 
however, the beds are not ready before June (we are referring to your Tulip and 
Daffodil beds) then you may plant the bulbs in wooden boxes filled with ordinary 
garden soil and covered with glass. The boxes should be placed in the sun, but 
protected against too fierce sunshine. It is most important to keep the soil moistened 
regularly and to make them gradually accustomed to the air and sunlight. As soon 
as it is possible to transplant them, they should be planted at a depth of 2 inches 
and 5 inches apart. Their height varies from 6 to 10 inches, depending naturally, on 
the nutritiveness of the soil and exposure to sunshine. Plant Begonias preferably 
in places where they are open to sunshine, for only part of the day; ff planted 
however, in continual sunshine, give them plenty of water and protect them in the 
early stages. Begonias produce very large flowers during the whole summer until 
far into the Autumn. The frost only, ends their long life. The most important hint 
we can give is, ‘Keep them sufficiently moist’.
