 hensive and attractive seed catalogue, containing 

 188 large pages. The inscription in red on the

 specialty.

 assortment of chrysanthemums is more compre- 

 hensive. Only one variety of begonia is offered; 

 Can the reader guess which one it is?

 only Illustrations are on the first page, where 

 three pictures show the growth of bulbous plants
