TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS 
Cultural Notes by T. H. EVERETT 
For window- or porch-boxes, beds or borders in semi-shaded positions, Tuberous-rooted 
Begonias are unexcelled for summer display, while well-grown examples in pots never fail 
to excite admiration. 
Tubers may be started into growth in late April by laying them in flats containing humus 
or leaf-mold, with the sprout side down. Spray with water at frequent intervals in a tem- 
perature of from 60 to 70 degrees. 
When the leaves begin to unfold, reverse the tubers and 
after two or three days transfer them singly to 4-inch pots. 
Use a ‘compost having a large 
humus content. Suffictent sand must be used to make the compost very light and friable. 
See that the pots are well drained, and do not press the compost too firmly. Water moderately 
until the pots are filled with roots, more freely afterward. A temperature of 60 to 65 degrees 
with a humid atmosphere is conducive to growth.
