The Shade Loving Plant 
For Porch Boxes, Bedding in Shady Places, and House Plants 
Begonias grow well in northern exposures and in shady places. They 
require a fairly rich soil with plenty of humus and plenty of moisture. 
Tuberous Begonias, for growing either in pots or outdoors in a shady spot, should be 
started early in flats in damp peat moss or vermiculite in a warm place. Be sure to keep 
them warm and reasonably damp, not wet. As growth gets under way and good root action 
is in evidence, pot them up in 4 or 5 inch pots, or if the weather is warm, directly to the 
permanent beds. Potting is probably better and then later transferring to the beds. Where 
possible use two parts of good soil and manure, 2 parts leaf mold or peat moss and 1 
part sand. 3 lbs. of bone meal is very beneficial to a bushel of mixture. 
Well grown plants will bloom continually from June until frost. The Begonia is grow- 
ing in popularity and the luxuriant, expensive looking plants are not as difficult to grow as 
may be expected.
