Tuberous Begonia Bulbs 
Begonias are indispensable for shady places in the garden or lawn, 
also desirable for pots or piazza boxes. Start in the house in March or 
April and remove to the open ground as soon as danger of frost is past. 
They will bloom freely from July until cut down by the frost. Dry tubers 
may also be planted in the open ground in May. Care should be taken 
to keep constantiy moist.
