For potting soil use the same mixture as above but add more soil and a three inch pot of Electra or complete 
fertilizer, to 21!/. bushel of soil. 
Begonia seed will germinate better in a temperature of 60-70° F. Grow Begonias in a 55° temperature.

The soil used in germinating the seeds should be made up of two parts leaf mold, two parts well rotted manure, two 
parts soil, and one part sand. Sterilize the soil and flat with steam to eradicate all disease. 
Sow the seeds lightly over the surface and cover the flat with a suitable covering. Calceolaria will germinate better 
when the temperature is cool, therefore, well shaded locations are better. August sowing will make large plants for 
May while November sowing will make good four inch plants. Some growers have used the wick irrigation method 
to germinate the seed with very good results.
