How do you orient the bulb?

I purchased some begonias bulbs from home depot. The planting instructions show the shape of a tulip bulb not a begonia bulb.

How do you orient the bulb in the ground? The bulb looks like the top of a mushroom with the stem broken off. ON the round part there were many small, what looked like dried roots. The opposite side has nothing but I could see some eyes popping up.

Do you orient so these eyes would grow out of the soil or are these eyes the roots and therefore should be oriented to grow down into the soil?
