TUBEROUS 
BEGONIAS 
These brilliant colored summer flow- 
ering bulbs of easy culture are ideal for 
shade. Along the coast of Oregon, Wash- 
ington and California they are among 
the most popular flowers of today. Our 
bulbs are from selected strains. 
Plant indoors in a warm place in 
February or March in moist sand or peat 
moss just covering the bulb. Pot up 
when well sprouted in a mixture of 
peat moss, humus or soil. Plant out- 
doors after danger of frost (early May 
in this section). They do best on the 
north side of a building or other loca- 
tion where they are shaded much of the 
day. To be successful prepare soil care- 
fully and add liberal quantities of peat 
moss or well decayed leaves. Keep well - 
watered and fertilized. Dig and store in 
late fall in a dry place during the winter. 
Warning — Failure is likely to result 
from planting dormant tubers in open 
ground, espec.ally if it is cold and wet.
