are a deep green, mulberry-red underneath, the leaf stem also very dark.

out flowers. It is of robust growth, and is selected at once as one of the 
handsomest of these new varieties. 60 cts. each.

Grand Tree Begonia, ‘‘Ernani.’’

the young growth being very bright, in striking contrast with the older 
growth. 65 cts. each. 
New Tree Begonia, ‘‘Her Royal Highness.”’ 
This Begonia is of more branching habit than the other varieties. The 
large, handsome folage, with its lustrous green leaves lined with red, is 
very beautiful; but when the graceful panicles of waxen pink flowers hang 
beneath, it is one of the sweetest and prettiest of the galaxy. 50 and 75 
cts. each.

clear waxen-green stems and foliage, and perfect snow-white flowers. It
