to grow some of these Fuberous Begonias! As outdoor bedding plants for shady places, they are 
unrivaled. In window or porch boxes, in half-shady spots, they do wonderfully well. Planted 
foot apart and 11% inches deep, in a shaded spot, in any well drained soil into which has 
been dug peat moss and plant food. In the fall, spread out to dry, and keep over winter in 
sand in a cool place.
