BEGONIA GL01RE DE LORRAINE, 



Of all Winter-Blooming Plants, Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and its 



varieties, are the most lavish in their production of flowers. From Octo- 

 ber until May, the plants are so profusely covered with blossoms as to almost 

 conceal the foliage. The flowers of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine are of a 



bright salmon-rose color, growing in large gracefully drooping panicles. Since 

 its introduction this plant has been constantly gaining in popularity, so that the 

 supply has been quite inadequate. 



Mr. William Falconer, Superintendent of Schenley Park, at Pittsburg, 

 Penn., writing us, Feb. 25, 1899, says: " Begonia Gloire de Lorraine received 

 today. It is a very beautiful little plant and so full of blossoms. It is one of 

 the real good things of recent introduction." 



The plants we offer have not been forced, but have been cool-grown and are stout and 

 stocky. With ordinary care they should remain in full bloom for several months, either in., 

 the house or conservatory.

Plants, from 4 inch pots, each, 35 cts.; per dozen, $3.50; by mail, each, 50 cts.

BEGONIA CALEDONIA. 



The White Variety of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. 



Last year European horticulturists were startled by the unexpected appearance of 

 a pure white variety of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, which when exhibited in London 

 received the.well merited distinction of the First Class Certificate of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society. Desirous of placing this new plant within the reach of our customers at the ear- 

 liest moment, our Mr. James Farquhar, made a special trip to Europe, and arrangements 

 were made with the Originator that enable us now to offer in the United States the only 

 plants which have passed out of his hands for simultaneous delivery with him. 



CALEDONIA has the same beautiful foliage as "Gloire de Lorraine," the same habit, 

 the same height, the same marvelous floriferoiisness, the same persistency of petal, the same 

 continuity of flowering, while it has proved itself of even more vigorous and robust growth- 



Plants, for delivery about Nov. 1st, each, $5.00.
