the begonia in t fl I 1 edding plant latt ll tt mr john said at t ako tko to andua annual convention of american florists 1 jn it regard to the employment of the tuberous begonia as aa a bedding plant I 1 have found if tho the bulbs are kept over during 7 the winter in a cold place ono one in which you can keep potatoes and if the bulbs are planted out at about the same time that you would plant pout potatoes toes the result is a great deal more satisfactory than it is when tile plant it is subjected i ltd to artificial treatment previous to planting out I 1 am satisfied that this is an important factor in the success of the begonia as a bedding plant therefore in advice to you who are interested is to buy the bulb the same mime as you buy the gladiolus or lily and to plant them at about the same time
