While the flowers are not so large, they are the heaviest blooming of all Begonias. They 
should be fed lightly every two weeks in addition to rich potting soil. No pinching 1s 
required, beyond the elimination of the first few flower buds. This is rather a difficult 
task for the grower to do, as we are all anxious to see the flowers, but it is a distinct 
advantage in the long run. So harden your heart and pinch.
