BEGONIA, TUBEROUS ROOTED 
Tuberous Rooted Begonias 
CULTURE—A popular method of culture is 
to provide a pan or box, and cover the bottom 
to the depth of one inch with peat moss, plac- 
ing the bulb immediately on top and then 
covering with still another layer of peat moss. 
They should be kept moist and moderately 
warm. As soon as roots appear plant in pots 
in a ligh soil, one inch below the surface, and 
water cautiously until plant has shown, 
growth, then increase the amount. Good 
drainage is essential. 
While professional gardeners start tubers in 
pots indoors during early spring, the dor- 
mant bulbs may be planted -0 inches apart 
in the open ground during May with excellent 
results. They will thrive in partial shade. 
Planted on the north side of a house they 
will make a beautiful display and in those 
places where hardly any other flower will 
bloom satisfactorily.
