WINTER FLOWERING TUBEROU 
An entirely new group of tuberous Bego¬ 
nias developed in England by crossing B. 
Socotrana with large-flowered tuberous Be¬ 
gonias. Their cultural requirements are 
slightly diflferent, yet simple. Their chief 
asset is the flowering season, which can be 
extended from October to the end of Jan¬ 
uary. The fact that they will grow very 
well in the house will insure them ex¬ 
treme popularity. The accompanying pic¬ 
ture was taken after the plant was dis¬ 
played three weeks on mantle shelf in a 
living room in December. ... All varieties 
in this group have to be propagated by cut¬ 
tings, as the plants do not form seed. The 
cuttings form tubers in their second year. 
Due to scarcity of stock, we supply only 
strong, young plants produced from cut¬ 
tings from five-inch pots by September 1. 
Flowering specimens in November and De¬ 
cember are $1.00 more per individual plant 
as quoted for September plants.
