. The amateur's practical garden-book;. Gardening. 226 amateur's practical garden-book frost. If any danger of frost is feared they may be lifted into pots or boxes and taken into the house, when they will bloom without a check. As with other bulbs, a sandy soil will suit. Tuberous Begonia. A large bed of these covered with crimson, pink, white, or yellow flowers, ranging from 2 to 4 and even 6 inches in diameter, some double, some single, is a striking sight. Yet such a sight is not uncom- mon about the large eastern cities where the Tuberous Be- gonia is now used somewhat for bedding.
