Mrs. Shepherd's "Good Venture" Mixture, 



Grand new mixture of twenty-five or more varieties from Mrs. Shep 

 herd's many named and unnamed new seedlings and some new varieties 

 from other sources. Begonia lovers will be delighted to grow plants from 

 these seeds. They are sure to give a great variety of beautiful flowers, from 

 pure white, blush, pink and rose to deepest red and with foliage equally 

 varied. They are easily grown from seed and managed, blooming when only 

 three inches high and continuing indefinitely. When the branches have 

 bloomed themselves out aft^r some months, they can be cut back and at 

 once new stems will start up from the roots bringing their bright flowers as 

 they come. They will continue on in this way several seasons forming large 

 clumps that can be divided again and again and used for low hedges and 

 borders. 25c pkt.
