TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
PLACE ORDERS EARLY FOR SHIPMENT WHEN READY 
Extraordinarily beautiful, both in color and in form, Tuberous Begonias are becoming 
justly famous. If you could see their gorgeous blooms in a California begonia lath 
house, where tubers and seeds are produced, you would not wonder at their increasing 
popularity. 
They come in many shades and color combinations. Some of them have a brilliant 
lustre, and others are pastel. For hanging baskets, pots, or garden, they are unsurpassed. 
In California, we grow them in a lath house, or patio, a partially shaded sun room, or 
in the garden under a tree, where they may be protected from the wind. 
They are easy to grow, but must have care and attention. In general they require part 
shade, regular and constant moisture and light acid soil with plenty of organic (leaf- 
mold, manure, etc.) material. 
Tubers are usually ready in February—sometimes late in February, depending on the 
season. Orders, however, should be placed early for shipment when ready. We send them 
as soon as they are properly cured and ready for planting. 
Hallawell’s California grown tubers are the highest quality obtainable and results 
from them, with proper culture, will prove very satisfying. Brief cultural directions 
sent free on request with order.

Aallawells 
RANUNCULUS 
Charming double flowers in _ varied 
shades of red, yellow, orange, pink, and 
white, They grow 12 to 15 inches high and 
are very satisfactory for cutting. In Cali- 
fornia we plant them during the fall and 
winter months, but in more severe climates, 
the bulbs should be planted as early as pos- 
sible in the spring. Set them 2 inches deep, 
5 or 6 inches apart each way and with the 
claws pointing downward. Keep them thor- 
oughly moist, but not soggy wet. In other 
words good deep irrigation and not too 
frequent surface sprinkling. In heavy soils, 
add a little sand and leafmold or other 
organic.
