TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
These brilliant colored summer flowering bulbs of easy culture 
are ideal for shade. Along the coast of Oregon, Washington and 
California they are among the most popular flowers of today. 
Our bulbs are from selected strains. 
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 (early May in this section). They do 
best on the north side of a building or other location where they 
are shaded much of the day. To be successful prepare soil care- 
fully 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.
