rooted Begonias for greenhouses and for summer 
bedding. Start the tubers indoors in January or Feb¬ 
ruary, in moist sand, with bottom heat of at least 70 
degrees. After they are well sprouted and develop 
good roots, pot them in 4-inch pots, in good soil. Plant 
out in somewhat shady location after frost danger ends.

BUTZER’S SURPRISE GARDEN 
MIXTURE 
975—If you want a thrill and a real adventure in 
gardening this year be sure and sow this mixture 
liberally. You will be repaid by the many unusual 
varieties which will appear during the season. We buy 
for this mixture annual varieties which are attractive 
and easily grown but many of them little known and 
the result is a continual succession of happy surprises 
to the gardener. In fact, we frequently are called to 
identify some particularly attractive sort so it may be 
ordered separately another year. 
Plant freely but not too thickly (if too crowded 
together the plants will be weak and drawn and will 
soon fade away), in rows in the vegetable or picking 
garden, keep watered or cultivated and the faded 
flowers removed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c.
