CATA AUREA 



THOSE of our customers who are familiar with that old but excellent Begonia, 

 Manicata— and nearly all must be, for it is universally popular— know how 

 very beautiful, and how exceedingly useful it is for greenhouse and parlor 

 decoration. Its large dark green, glossy leaves, and wealth of delicate pink flowers, 

 so gracefully borne on long, erect and fmely dividing flower stems, render this plant 

 an exceedingly pretty and striking object. Add to all that beauty, foliage, instead 

 of being plain green, which is handsomely variegated with large blotches of canary 

 yellow, and you have one of the most beautiful plants imaginable. Manicata Aurea 

 is all that and more, if we could but describe it. The accompanying cut is a very 

 good and faithful representation of it. Price, each, 25 cts.

REX BEGONia-COUHTESS LOUISE ERBODY-NEW. 



THE peculiar feature of this new variety is the curious spiral formation of the leaf, 



as seen in the engraving. But aside from this interesting point, this variety has 



much to commend it. Its foliage is beautifully marked and shaded with silvery 



gray and coppery-rose, the veins on both sides being a yellowish green. Price, each, 25 cts. 



BEGONIA REX LOUISE CHRETIEN. 



ALTHOUGH not quite new, this superb variety has actually no equal in its family, so 

 that it is still entitled to a foremost place in a list of novelties. The beautiful color- 

 ing of its foliage is almost indescribable; but when we say that it is like changeable 

 silk in its luster, we may possibly be understood. Flowers large and of a delicate rose tint- 

 Price, each, 25 cts.
