STARTING AND GROWING OF LARGE AND MEDIUM 
SIZE TUBERS FOR POTTING 
Begonia Tubers should never be 
started until they show a sprout, then 
plant in flats of peat so the bulb is 
just covered. Water well, put in dark 
warm place until about 2 inches high 
then give them light. When plants are 
about five inches high they are ready 
for potting. Care should be taken not 
to plant Begonias in too large a 
container. A 1!/. inch Tuber requires 
On G=inch pot, do Zunch | uber saould 
be planted in. a 10 inch pot. 
In potting all types excepting hang- 
ing basket, you should leave but one 
shoot to each tuber, break all other 
shoots off at the tuber. The hanging 
baskets, you should leave all shoots, 
because the more shoots you have 
the better formed baskets. Some of the 
larger flowering baskets grow with 
just a few shoots, it is best to pinch 
the tops of these so they. will throw 
more branches. 
In potting in eight inch pots mix 2 
table spoons of fish meal in the bottom 
third of pot, the ten inch pots use 3 
table spoons, 7 inch pots for seedlings 
or small bulbs use | table spoon. In 
this way the plants will start feeding 
when they are ready to bloom. Best 
potting mixture, well rotted leaf mould 
1/6 cow manure mixed and rotted to- 
gether then add one third light top 
soil. :
