The plants should not be placed in full sunshine, as they prefer shadé and moisture. Avoid too much heat at all stages, as a slow, steady growth will mgana much more attractive display of flowers. Tuberous Begonias do very well on the North or East side of the house. It is wise to remove the first lot of buds, in order to permit of greater rowth in the plant, The buds usually appear in thiee to the stem, and in Order to get larger blooms the two side buds should be nipped off, the centre bud then develops into a splendid flower." As the stem is very brittle great care is needed in order that the centre bud is not broken off in the process or disbudding. Weak liquid manure may be applied about every five days. As the plants begin to die down, watering should be done less frequently and when the stems fall away no more water should be given. i The best plan for storage purposes is to shake off all soil from the tubers and let the crown dry for a few days, after which they may be stored in dry sand, or soil. The soil should be light, consisting of one part each of loam, , provided danger of" ON GROWING GLADIOLUS Probably more has been written about gladiolus culture in recent years than about any other flower.
