Begonia Cultural Directions 
Any light soil with a lot of humus ; << 
will grow good Begonias; heavy soils 
should have a liberal application of 
well rotted manure, leaf mold or sand 
thoroughly mixed. Very light soil will 
benefit with an application of peat, leaf 
mold or well rotted manure. A lighter , 
soil should be used in pots than when i 
planted outdoors. A shady spot should 
be selected outdoors, such as under 
trees or the north side of a building 
where the direct sunlight cannot reach 
them. 
For well-grown specimens additional 
feeding will be required, fish or cotton- 
seed meals, both give fine results. Mix 
a tablespoonful with the soil in the 
lower half of the planting hole for small 
plants, additional for larger plants.
