HARDY BEGONIA, Ns 
Photograph of New Hardy Begonia, EVANSIANA 
Think of it! A hardy Begonia, one that stood twenty degrees 
below zero last winter, and came up and bloomed all summer. 
Another thing in its favor, it requires shade to grow in, at least 
partial shade. So many persons write us asking for plants suit- 
able for shady places. Well, Begonia Evansiana fills the bill. 
It isa wonderful, beautiful Begonia, having pendulous flowers. 
in large racemes almost covering the entire plant. Color a spark- 
ling pink that is simply entrancing. Everybody will want a 
hardy Begonia. It is also fine for pot culture. Price for plants 
or bulbs to bloom this summer, 25 cents; three for 60 cents. 
BURBANK’S SHASTA DAISIES 
SHASTA DAISIES—(New.) The Shasta Daisy is one of the 
most marvelous productions in the flower line that has ever 
been brought to the notice of floriculturists. It is the first 
of a new type which has been obtained by hybridization and 
rigid selection through a-series of years. Its first qualication 
is extreme hardiness. Second, it is perennial, blooming better 
and more abundantly each season. Third, it is not particular 
as to soil. Fourth, it blooms for several months. Fifth, the 
flowers are extremely large and graceful, averaging about four 
inches in diameter, with petals of the purest glistening white- 
ness, which are borne on single, long, stiff, wiry stems. Sixth, 
the blooms when cut remain perfectly fresh and in good con- 
dition for two weeks or more. No other flower can compare 
with it in usefulness. 10 cents; three for 25 cents.
