BEGONIAS 
The Shade-Loving 
Plant for Porch Boxes, 
Bedding and Shady 
Places 
Begonias grow well in 
northern exposures out 
of winds and sun. They 
require a fairly rich soil 
with plenty of humus 
and moisture. Ideal for 
pot culture, porch box- 
es, or bedding outdoors. 
Start them early in damp 
peat moss or vermiculite 
in a warm place. As 
growth starts transplant 
to 4 or 5-inch pots or if 
ground is warm, direct- 
ly to the permanent 
beds. Use two parts of 
good soil and rotted ma- 
nure, two parts leaf 
mold or peat moss, one 
part sand; 3 lbs. bone 
meal to a bushel of mix- 
ture. The Begonia is be- 
coming one of our most 
popular bedding plants 
and the luxuriant, ex- 
pensive looking plants are not as difficult to 
grow as may be expected.
