Tuberous Rooted Begonias 
The increasing popularity of Tuberous or Bulb Begonias is 
partially due to the high standard of development attained in 
the last few years, This exquisite class of flowers was first 
introduced about 1860 from the mountains of South America. 
It has taken 80 years of patient labor by hybridizers to bring 
the tuberous Begonias to their present state of perfection. 
Their requirements are comparatively simple. If the soil is 
heavy or hard, add plenty of leaf mold, peat moss or sand, or a 
mixture of all, so that the ground will be light and porous. 
Mix in.a sprinkling of bone meal.. Plant in a shaded spot, as 
in tree shade or on the north sidé of the house, and keep well 
watered, fine overhead sprinkling preferred. To prevent loss 
of bulbs when planted early or in cold or wet ground, start in 
peat in flats, set 3 inches apart, slightly covered. Keep uni- 
formly moist in warm. well-lighted place until 3 or 4 inches 
of growth develops, then plant in pots or in the garden as 
_ desired.
