CULTIVATION. The Begonia prefers partial shade and not too 
warm a place where they will give best results specially in wet 
summers. For cultivation in greenhouses, shade is necessary. 
Forcing can be started in February, March or April, depending 
on the time they should be in flower. The bulbs are placed in 
boxes, on light porous soil close together, and then covered 
with earth to a depth of one inch above the bulb. The earth 
should be kept just moist, too much water will rot the bulbs. 
When the plants begin to develop place them in pots.

GLOXINIA CULTURE 
Gloxinias are fit companions for the tuberous rooted Begonias and the fancy 
leaved Caladiums. Their richly colored flowers are most outstanding. Start 
the tubers in 4-inch pots in a mixture of leaf mold, sand and a little well-rotted 
cow manure with good bottom heat. Keep shaded and as the leaves appear, be 
careful with the watering. You cannot do it with the hose, so make use of the 
old-fashioned way, the watering can, and go over each plant carefully, examine 
every one and don't apply water unless it is needed, on the other hand, they 
suffer every bit as much if they don't get water when ready for it, for they want 
a moist soil. Keep the leaves dry. It doesn't hurt to get them moist on a hot day 
early in the morning, but they soon go if you wet them every time you water 
the plants. They want a little shade most of all, but if you overdo it you may 
obtain foliage but no flowers. Large Flowering Gloxinia
