 BEGONIA, Tuberous.

 flowered Tuberous Bego- 

 nias for bedding purposes 

 has been fully established, 

 and the gorgeous effects 

 they have produced have 

 readily given them pre- 

 cedence over the more 

 ordinary bedding plants.

 nice plants for planting 

 out in June. The dou- 

 ble varieties succeed best when grown 

 as pot plants, and are adapted to con- 

 servatory and piazza decoration; I ft.
