Begonia 
Soil to be used for seed flats should have two parts leaf mold, two parts 
well rotted manure, two parts soil and one part sand. Steam sterilize the 
flats and soil about one week before sowing, also water the soil well be- 
fore sowing. For four inch plants for Spring sale sow seed in August. If 
2% inch plants are wanted for Memorial Day, sow seeds in December. 
Many growers make monthly sowings from August to March. 
For potting soil use the same mixture as above but add more soil and 
a three inch pot of Electra or complete fertilizer, to 22 bushels of soil. 
Begonia seed will germinate better in a temperature of 60-70° F. Grow 
Begonias in a 55° temperature. 
Mite, Nematode and Aphis are sometimes troublesome.

Caleelane 
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.
