Tuberous Rooted Begonia 
We are offering a superior strain of these 
lovely plants and we are confident that 
there is none better to be found any- 
where. The flowers are very large, bril- 
liant and clear in color, and of good sub- 
stance. They may be started any time 
from January to April in pots or flats in 
porous soil or peat, and planted out after 
the weather becomes warm, or shifted to 
large pots and treated as a pot plant. Use 
a compost of leafmould, peat, sand and 
loam with a liberal amount of well-rotted 
steer manure. Plant in a shady location 
and apply liquid manure _ occasionally 
when they have started blooming. In the 
fall, after the tops have died down, lift 
the bulbs and store away in dry sand in a 
warm place. Delivery January to April.

camellia flowered begonia developed in 
America through hybridization. Available
