TUBEROUS Begonias 
Gladiolus and Dahlias have for generations provided our 
sunlit gardens with vivid colors to which modern horticul- 
ture is adding every year new shades and color combinations. 
For the shaded gardens the Tuberous Begonias now provide 
an equally amazing range of vivid colors—no wonder that 
they are growing so rapidly in popularity. And they are easy 
to grow, too. 
Plant indoors in a warm place in February or March in moist 
sand or peat moss just covering the bulb. Pot up when well 
sprouted in a mixture of peat moss, humus or soil. Plant out- 
doors after danger of frost has passed. They do best in north- 
ern locations where they are shaded much of the day. Prepare 
soil carefully and add liberal quantities of peat moss or well 
decayed leaves. Keep well watered and fertilized. Dig and 
store in late fall in a dry place during the winter. Warning— 
Failure is likely to result from planting dormant tubers in 
open ground, especially if it is cold and wet.
