We have heard What type of place, do they grow in, sunshine or shade? What type of soil? Do they grow from seed?' I'll try to answer hi one arti cle, all ! the tuberous-rooted be gonia questions which I have re ceived in the past several days. George Otten, whose little book on tuberous be gonias has gain ed a wide cir culation, tells us that the "tuber- ous-rooiea oe gonia was intro n duced in -Europe in the early part of the nineteenth century, seeds and tubers hav ing been - sent Henderson in England in 1847. It was a novelty, but its flowers were small and did not excite the floral world." 1 In ' recent years, however, its flowers semingly have greatly ex cited the floral world, and thou sands of visitors have caned at the Seaside gardens of both Mr, Otten and the late George Baker. Evefv -year, the beautifully col ored blooms gather new converts. The tuberous-rooted begonia must, to do well, have shade. la fact, it will m do at all In f uH son. The soil should be rich and moist. Beneath tall trees, whose branches are around ten feet from the grannd. Ideal places can be" found. Some of the nicest taberons-rooted be gonias I have ever seen, were crowing beneath an apple tree in a Portland garden. The flow- en were Immense and there was an immense number of flowers fer the namber of slants. ; These: begonias are surface feeders and do not need to have a deeply cultivated and enriched soiL - But a rich soil they must have, and additional plant food on the surface of the ground dur ing the summer is appreciated. Propagation may be had ty seen, which - should be planted in Feb ruary.! But one must' obtain the seed from a reliable firm. ; Unless the seed is hand-pollinated, only a very few, if any at an, will germinate. Seeds may be sown In a "common florist's flat. But great care must be taken. Mr. Otten suggests that the flat should be filled half full with water soaked peat, and on this finely sifted soiL composed of leafmold and peat together with a little harp sand, be used. The very fine seeds" should be sown even ly and after they have been plant ed, the soil should be sprayed with an atomized. The box should be kept in a dark pUce until the seeds . germinate. A. glass cover ing at night is advised and night temperature should not oe - per mitted to drop below. 50 degrees. Some : professional growers start the seeds' on a bed of finely ground cinders or rock.

When the plants are ready to be transplanted from the little pots, use a soil mixture to which some barnyard manure. commercial fertilizer or sheep guano has been added. I Double flowering plants are suggested by commercial grow ers as the best porch box va rieties. They are too heavy, wo are told, for successful open ground culture. However, I have grown some very fine doa ble ones in shady spots In my own garden. Last year, I did use little stacks taken from the bamboo and a little green string to hold the flowers in place so that they could be properly ad mired.

For these cruises they built what were called . galley ships. They also concocted an alphabet which in time led to printing and galley: proofs. Their galleys were powered by slaves and this necessitated the creation of a f. coxswain to 'drive vthem. T h e creation 'of coxswains fostered the idea of sergeants; and this marked the beginning of a stout but. some, times untrustworthy . belief in cause and effect. - The Phoenicians caused a lot of traveling.
