Use Tuberous Begonias
For Spectacular Effects
Tha tuberous begonia has al
ways been a spectacular flower.
but Improvements from year to
year nave built It into an unbe
lievable class.
Color Rar Wide
The color range of the plant is
wide: yellow, orange, pink, salmon,
apricot shades, white and about
every conceivable shade of red.
The double camellia type Is the
largest; flowers from 5 to 8 inches
'. in diameter, resembling the large
camellias and roses.
' The flmbriata or carnation type
is a popular bedding plant and
flowers resemble tne carnation ana

The fimbriata plena type Is dou
He frilled; also called the carna
tion type. This group has been
greatly improved in the recent
year. It is strong, makes a ousny
growth and is very desirable for
beddine and pot plants.
Flowers of the ruffled camellia
type are as large as the regular
camellia variety, this type was
derived from crossing the camellia
flowered with the fimbriata type.
Other types available as seed
lings are double rose bud, single
crested and single frilled.
Isolate For Best Effect
Tuberous begonias ore show-offs
by comparison, most flowers
seem pale and insignificant. That
is why it's a good idea to use
them by themselves, not In mixed
plantings. If you do combine them
with other flowers, it is best to let
the begonias dominate and use oth
er plants as foils or backgrounds.
Some planting suggestions are:
begonias in shrubby borders
against solid plantings of ever
green shrubs such as boxwood,
myrtle, camellia, holly and yew;
or, begonias with ferns. This is a
natural association as they both
enjoy the same warm humid con
ditions. The maidenhair, deer and
Brauns holly ferns are low to me
dium in height and combine beau
tifully with begonias. Wooduardia
and sword ferns make effective
rich green backgrounds.

beds the red in their leaves
and stems picks up the color of

Jtememoer mat Dcgonias are
one-way facing plants. If you are
planting seedlings, face the plant
me way tne leaves are pointing.
If you plant tubers directly where
they will bloom, you will have to

er the leaves have formed enough
to determine the direction.
There are three reasons why the
ziowers arop on tuuerous Degomas,
over-watering, over-feeding , and
too warm weather. They do re
quire more water than the average
garden plant, but remember, there
is a limit. Too much water can
cause trouble. Water often enough
to keep the soil always moist but
not soggy. Good drainage is very
important. One reason why the
standard gowing mixture consists
of peat moss, leaf mold and sand:
or leaf mold, light loam and ma
nure, is that such mixtures allow
water to pass through and yet are
absorbent enough to dram a suf
ficient quantity the plant needs.
Fertilising Outlined
A begonia tuber is like a potato.
It has in it all the makings of a
new plant, that's why there is no
need to fertilize at the start. If
you fertilize heavily during early
stages Of growtn the plant becomes
leggy and ungainly. -
Usual procedure is to start feed
ing after the plants are well-established.
Some growers give first
feeding at the bud forming stage.
Fertilizing begonias is more a mat
ter of how much and how often.
than what type fertilizer to use;
for good results use one on the
acid side or with neutral reaction.
It is easy to tell by the appearance
of the plant when it needs feeding.
If the leaves are light green and
cupped upward the plant will take
a feeding. If leaves are dark green
and tend to crimp downward, do
not feed.
It is not necessary to grow the
Many growers prefer wooden plants in full shade. Commercial
boxes to any other type of con-
tainer for begonias. Wood holds
the moisture better tnan clay pots.
There is also a pleasing compatl
hility between the container and
the dark rich leaf mold used as a
growing medium. Many variations
are possible using cedar and red
wood boxes.
Good Drainage Needed
Begonias thrive in raised beds
where soil has been specially pre
pared and the drainage is excell-

growers in the coastal area grow
their begonias under 50 per cent
lain, which means the plants get
naif tne available sunlight all day.
Morning and late afternoon sun
and regular overhead watering
are just what tuberous begonias
get in their native jungles in Cen
tral and South America.
The tuberous begonia is gen
erally a very healthy plant that
suffers little damage from pests.
Slugs and snails are probably the
only pests that are a real threat.
Remember to put a ring of bait
all around the planting area, but
not too close to the plants. The
bait attracts the snails and in
vites them into the planted area
and you want to attract them away
from the plants, not to them. Un
der certain conditions in some
areas other pests are attracted to
the begonias. Aphis are found to
some extent but attack only rare
ly. Cyclamen mite is a pest to
watcn for if Degonias are grown
in a green house.
In the northwest, the brachyrin-
us weevil, or strawberry-root wee
vil has become a wide spread en
emy, in the fall, alter yon nig your
tubers, examine them closely for
weevils and weevil holes. If the
weevil is inside, dig it out and
dust the incision with charcoal
dust. Before storing for winter dip
tubers into lindane or chlordanc.
Stem rot causes much trouble
In soil to which manure has been
added. Putting sharp sand around
the stem usually will prevent the
rotting. Flowering plants should
always bo kept clean. Uo sure and
remove old flowers and stems. If
they fall in the crotch of the
leaves, mold may start. When
picking the flowers, leave all of
the stem on the plant. The cut
you have made will start stem
molding immediately and if you
leave tho stein it will fall off be
fore the mildew appears will pre
vent it but is not effectivo once
the mildew forms.
There are many varieties of the
tuberous begonia. Look for two
less familiar types Begonia bol
iviensis and the nuiltiflnrin. They
aro quite different and really easy
to use in the garden,
