FIBROUS OR SHRUBBY BEGONIAS. 
Begonias are my favorite plants and all varieties, new and old, are welcomed 
and given room. They respond generously to ordinary care, and flourish and 
.bloom outside all the year, many kinds growing to immense size in a few 
years. The more tender varieties with large foliage do better grown in lath 
houses, where they are somewhat screened from sun and winds. I have a 
very large collection.
