BUNGALOW NURSERY • TUBEROUS BEGONIAS • SELECTED STRAINS 
Moisture . . . Tuberous Begonias like moisture, both on their leaves as well as 
on their roots. Keep soil moderately wet. In July and August when it is hot and 
dry use garden hose with fine spray and apply for a few minutes over entire 
plant. The leaves of these Begonias help to support the entire plant, and when 
the humidity is down and the leaves are not moistened, you will find that the 
center flower will drop off, because the roots alone are unable to support it. 
Tubers ... If early flowering is desired, place tubers in flats with moistened 
peat and leaf mold (half and half) during January and February. Keep uni¬ 
formly moist but not too wet in a warm place well lighted until three or four 
inches of growth develop, then plant in pots or shady position in open if de¬ 
sired. In autumn when the foliage turns yellow, withdraw water gradually and 
when all growth dies down entirely, take out tuber, wash off soil, dry in sun¬ 
light until thoroughly dry, then store in cool, dry place until time to plant again.
