 like flowers , the best of the class for winter flowering.

An ornamental leaved variety, peculiar for its palm-shaped 

 leaves

BEGONIA RUBRA 



Is one of the finest acquisitions to our winter flowering plants ; 

 the leaves are of the darkest green, the colors of the flowers 

 scarlet rose, glossy, and wax-like. This peculiarity is so marked 

 that when plants are placed singly in a room, the glossy ap- 

 pearance of the leaves and flowers gives the impression that 

 they are artificial rather than natural.

 $4.50 per dozen, 3d size, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen.
