BEGONIA — TRIUMPH OF STUTTGART. (EDGE, COLEUS VERSCHAFFELTII.) 



BEGONIAS. 



Old favorites admirably adapted for both 

 house culture and outdoor bedding. The two 

 varieties we offer are wonderful bedders ex- 

 celling Geraniums in wealth of bloom and 

 display of color and in hardiness, withstand- 

 ing wonderfully the heat and drought of our 

 summers. They succeed remarkably well also 

 in pots in the house or conservatory, bloom- 

 ing for months without cessation. 

 B. Erfordia — Triumph of Stuttgart — Surely a 

 "Triumph" in bedding Begonias. Note the 

 remarkable profusion of bloom shown in 

 the illustration. This photograph was taken 

 late in September, and the bed had been a 

 mass of bloom all summer in spite of the 

 drought and though exposed most of the 

 time to the blazing heat of the sun. The 

 flowers are a beautiful rosy pink, foliage 

 deep-green and glossy. 



B. Gracilis Luminosa — Similar to the forego- 

 ing in habit, hardiness and general adapti- 

 bility. The flowers, however, are bright 

 scarlet. This variety is also remarkably 

 well adapted for bedding in the open, fully 

 exposed to the sun. We consider it the 

 more desirable, however, of the two be- 

 cause of the dazzling red color of the flow- 

 ers. Each 15c; per dozen $1.50.
