GROWING BEGONIAS AS RESULT OF WORLD WAR I 
The business of growing Tuberous Rooted Begonias from seed in this: country was an idea I picked. up in Belgium 
while in the American Army during the World War I. Upon my return from service, I imported seed from the Belgian VE 
had. discussed the matter with, and started trying to grow Tuberous Rooted Begonias. After eight years of discouraging 
trials I at last produced a few plants that bloomed. Then, by constant vigilance and some help from very good friends, I 
at least succeeded in putting the Tuberous Rooted Begonia across in this country. 
By constantly working with the shade-loving Tuberous Rooted Begonia, I began to realize that there are a great many 
shady places around a home that have been neglected, se am trying to help those in that predicament by growing all the 
good shade-loving annuals I can find. Right here, I wish to express my sincere thanks to those customers who have so 
kindly recommended the Tuberous Rooted Begonia to their friends and have also referred them to Lowe’s Greenhouse and 
Nursery. bi
