TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS 
(Camellia Flowered) 
Excellent for porch boxes in shade or borders with very little 
sun. Bulbs may be started indoors in March or April in four- 
inch pots and transferred to garden when danger of frost is past. 
Provide good drainage and a soil composed of one-half loam, 
one-fourth leaf mold or rotted peat and one-fourth sharp sand. 
Barely cover the bulbs. At the end of season bulbs may be 
stored in cool place after thoroughly drying in shade.

For succession of bloom and a continuous supply 
of cut flowers, plant a few gladiolus bulbs every two 
weeks until the end of June. Gladiolus require a 
minimum of care. Cover the bulbs with 31% inches 
of soil and keep well cultivated until buds are formed. 
When growth is well started, they will repay for a 
top-dressing of sheep manure. Water well during dry 
spells if you would have blooms of exhibition quality. 
When frost is imminent, cut the foliage well above 
the soil. Dig and spread out to cure. Three weeks 
after harvest the bulbs may be cleaned and stored. 
A sprinkling of naphthalene flakes will destroy any 
thrips that might be present.
