EXOTIC TUBEROUS BEGONIAS -- Beauty for the Shaded Area! 
This strain of California Begonias we be- 
lieve to be the finest available. The strong 
tubers produce huge, magnificent flowers of 
perfect form carried erect on strong stems. 
Their requirements are comparatively simple. 
If the soil is heavy or hard, add plenty of leaf 
mold, peat moss or sand, or a mixture of all, 
so that the ground will be light and porous. 
Mix in a sprinkling of bone meal. Plant in a 
shaded spot, as in tree shade or on the north 
side of the house, and keep well watered (fine 
overhead sprinkling perferred). To prevent 
loss of bulbs when planted early or in cold or 
wet ground, start in peat in flats indoors in 
February or early spring; set 3 inches apart, 
slightly covered. Keep slightly moist in warm, 
well-lighted place until 3 or 4 inches of 
growth develop, then plant in pots or in the 
garden as desired.
