BEGONIA CULTURE 
Plant Tuberous Begonias in a light 
porous soil mixture composed of leaf- 
mold and sandy loam, enriched with 
well rotted manure. Keep them moist 
at all times, using fine overhead spray 
during warm weather. Feed them com- 
mercial fertilizer as soon as they be- 
come established, and again when they 
are in full bloom. Do not put fertilizer 
in direct contact with the stems. 
When growing in pots, a similar soil 
mixture should be used and care should 
be exercised to assure perfect drainage. 
Place one to two inches of gravel on 
the bottom of the pot. 
Use small pots to start and move into 
larger pots before plants become pot- 
bound. Keep the surface moist in the 
young stage until the growth is well de- 
veloped and then heavier watering is 
justified. Plants can be set outdoors 
just as soon as all danger of frost is 
past.
