Tuberous Begonias. 



ALL SELECTED BULBS. 



These are now the most popular plants for beds of sum- 

 mer flowers, or as pot plants for the greenhouse, 

 conservatory or sitting-room. Our bulbs are all sound, 

 well matured and of good size. For a time it was gen- 

 erally supposed that these could not be grown in the open 

 air with success, but extensive plantings of them in 

 various sections of the country have demonstrated their 

 adaptability for this pm-pose. Nothing can exceed the 

 brilliancy of their colors, the delicacy of their tints, the 

 richness of their waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of their 

 effect in masses, or their graceful appearance in beds or 

 borders. From the time the first blossom appears until 

 all growth is stopped by frost, they are never out of 

 bloom, and such blooms, great waxy flowers from three 

 to five inches across, borne in such profusion that the rich 

 glossy green foliage is almost hidden under the wealth 

 of blossoms. A bunch of these on the table in a room will 

 remain perfect a long time and brighten it up as no other 

 flowers will. They should be planted about one foot 

 apart each way, and on the approach of cold weather they 

 should be taken up and the bulbs stored away in a warm 

 place until the spring, when they may be started in pots 

 before planting in the garden.
