7^ TUBEROUS BEGONIAS «* tk &»** 



The fact thai these gorgeously colorful plants can not only be 

 grown but prefer to grow in the shade, coupled with the recent 

 attention given them by the plant breeders, has gained for them an 

 enthusiastic acceptance by home gardeners. The interesting 

 foliage (see front cover) is a perfect foil for their summer-long 

 beauty. They are easy to grow (complete cultural instructions 

 with every order), but to get the longest possible flowering period 

 from them they should be started early. . . . January is not too 

 early, although they may be slarled later with good results. Use 

 them freely as borders in the shaded garden, in window boxes or 

 grown in beds in a shady spot. 

 The familiar Camellia type is shoivn on the cover. On page 59 we show several newer and more un- 

 usual types in what is probably the broadest listing in the country. If you have never grown them, 

 we hope you will enjoy their great beauty this year on our recommendation.
