The Handsome and Wonderful Hardy Bedding Begonia 



Jewel 



EVANSIANA. 



This is a tuberous-rooted, herbaceous, hardy perennial Begonia, 

 losing its tops in the fall. When bedded out, the roots remain in 

 the soil and start new growth in the spring, just as do the Peony 

 and Perennial Phlox. The plants like a rich, porous soil and par- 

 tial shade and will bloom throughout the summer. It is really one 

 of the most beautiful of summer blooming Begonias and never fails 

 to grow well and bloom freely when bedded out in a partially 

 shaded, moist situation; produces clusters of flowers and buds of a 

 beautiful pink color by the hundred on a single plant during an 

 ordinary growing season. Think of it, a Hardy Begonia, one that 

 stood twenty degrees below zero last winter, and came up and 

 bloomed all summer. So many persons write us asking for plants 

 suitable for shady places. Well, Begonia Evansiana will fill the 

 bill. Prioa, 16 etnts eaehi 3 for 41 eantt; 12 for $1.45. .■*
