GIANT TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
Dollar for dollar, few plants give more satisfaction than Tuberous Begonias. The tubers last for 
years, they are easily grown and no other showy flowering plant will do so well in shady loca- 
tions. We offer fine tubers of selected strains, true to name and color. 
Culture: Set tubers shallowly on peat moss or coarse leafmold which should 
be kept barely moist or in pots which also should be watered sparingly. When the plants are 3 
or 4 inches high, they are ready for transfer to larger pots or to shady, protected beds where 
they should be planted about a foot apart. They are fine for porch boxes if not subjected to sun 
or wind. As they are gross feeders, they benefit from applications of manure water when in 
pots, and when planted outside the soil should be well-enriched. A mixture of 14 gravel (pea to 
hickory nut size), 14 clay loam and 14 well-rotted manure gives a rich, porous soil. If the cow 
manure is not available, substitute peat moss adding 1 pound of superphosphate to the bushel 

for fertility.
