TYPES OF NEW TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIA. 



New Tuberous Kootcd Begonias. 



These sorts now offered are an immense improvement 

 over the old sorts, and would scarcely be recognized by those 

 who are only familiar with the earlier varieties. They are 

 magnificent flowering plants in pots, and in Europe are ex- 

 tensively bedded out, flowering in the greatest profusion all 

 summer. The individual florets will average from a to 3 

 inches in diameter, and in the collection we offer lovely 

 shades of crimson, scarlet, yellow, amber, purple, maroon, 

 and pure white are to be found in both the double and single 

 classes. They should be sown in the green-house in 

 in February, afterwards potted off, and if to be bedded out, 

 should be planted in May. Take up after the frost has killed 

 the foliage, and keep the bulbs in a warm, dry place. These 

 will make strong flowering plants the next season. (See cut.)
