Important ! 
The seed of many of the following fi¬ 
brous-rooted, bedding Begonias, is the 
result of crossing two different sorts 
{The Heterosis method). Plants raised 
from this seed show a marvelous uni¬ 
formity and perfection, but their seed 
should never be harvested, as the seed 
of the second generation segregates and 
produces only worthless mixtures. Our 
seed is collected from crosses made each 
year from the original parents.

SOWING THE SEED 
In the Northern States seed 
should be sown from Janu- 
uary to March in brisk heat 
in shallow, well-drained seed 
pans, filled with a compost 
of equal parts of leafmold 
loam, and sand. The seed is 
very minute, and extreme 
care is required in handling. 
Make the soi 1 fairly firm and 
sow the seed evenly on the 
surface; do not cover the 
seed with soil, but place a 
glass over it. The glass 
should be turned or wiped 
dry every morning. When 
the pans become dry, sub¬ 
merge the pans to the rim 
and wait till the water soaks 
through. Prick off when 
very small, and pot off when 
large enough into 3 inch 
pots, giving a shift into a 
larger size when necessary.
