Camellia-Flowered Begonia 
Single Frilled Begonia 


Tuberous Begonias 
The answer to the gardener’s prayer for something that 
will grow easily and bloom prolifically in the many difficult 
shady spots in most gardens. They are at their best under 
trees, on the north side of buildings, walls and hedges, in win- 
dow and porch boxes under awnings. 
What a wonderfully beoutiful and useful flower so many people are missing when 
they neglect to grow some of these Tuberous Begonias! Planted in pots for winter 
house flowers they are very fine. They are easily grown. Set the bulbs a foot apart 
and 12 inches deep in a shaded spot in any well-drained soil into which has been 
dug peat moss and plant food. The plants grow about 12 inches tall and a foot across. 
In the fall spread out to dry and keep over winter in sand in @ cool place. Tuberous 
Begonia bulbs last for many years and with a little care will continue to grow in size.
