Text Appearing After Image:
There is a definite pleasure in raising such Begonias as these oneself from seed, either to adorn the window garden or the outdoor beds Clarkei, B. Davisi, B. Pearcei, B. rosaeflora and B. Veitchii. There are also the semi-tuberous Begonias (hybrids between tuberous-rooted and fibrous-rooted species), such as the bedding outdoors. Heliotrope seed requires a soil that is varieties known as Winter Cheer (carmine) and Julius just moist, and never wet or completely dry. After sprin- WHEN Heliotrope seed is planted in February it will produce plants large enough by early Summer for (rose). The beautiful pink Gloire de Lorraine is the love- liest Winter Begonia, having attractive foliage and pro- ducing hundreds of flowers. Moreover, it can stand a temperature as low as 58 degrees in Winter, and is one of the best Begonias grown for use in hanging baskets. This variety needs plenty of water. Of the Rex Begonias (those raised for their fo- liage, having, as they do, in- conspicuous flowers), one may recommend the follow- ing varieties: Grandis (bronze), President Carnot (silvery white), Surprise (deep bronze and silvery rose), The Mystery (red and green with silvery edge), and the Van-der Hyde (mot- tled green and white). Of the flowering Begonias, the following are very attrac- tive: Alba picta (narrow, green leaves spotted with white, and white flowers in clusters;, Argentea Guttata (bronze leaf marked with silver, and white flowers), B. McBethii (finely-cut foliage and pure white flowers), B. Metallica (bronze foliage and white flowers), Margurite (foliage resembles B. Metallica, but flowers are light rose color), Zebrina (white-veined dark-green foliage and light pink flowers), and B. grandi- flora erecta cristatz. (Bearded Begonia). Then there are the WaxBegonias (B.semperfloreus), which bloom continuously.
