BEGONIAS 
The following varieties of Begonia semper- 
florens and B. gracilis rank as bedding plants 
with geraniums and coleus, doing equally 
well in full sunlight, and surpassing both in 
shady positions. They grow about 1 foot 
high, and form dense bushes which, from May 
until frost, are hidden with flowers. As pot- 
plants they are a mass of bloom all year.

hotbed.
