PETER HENDERSUN & CO’S QUARTERLY TRADE LIST OF PLANTS, 15 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 
The above engraving shows these grand 
Bedding Begonias. The kinds we 
offer were specially grown for us and are 
a comparatively new section of this beauti- 
ful tribe, They are now largely grown as 
bedding plants and no doubt will be almost 
universally planted in the very near future. 
The colors are far more varied and brilliant 
than Geraniums, the single flowers meas- 
uring from 3 to 5 inches across, ranging 
through all the shades of crimson, scarlct, 
rose, orange, etc. They require the same 
treatment as the fancy leaved Caladiums, 
Gloxinias, etc. ; that is, the tubers are dricd 
off in winter and started again in spring.

‘¢ Silver Leaf.”’ 
This is the nearest approach to white we 
have yet obtained in a Coleus. In fact, 
under glass it isa silvery white in the centre, 
while outside it is a very light yellow. The 
edge of the foliage is a pleasing shade of 
green, contrasting finely with the light 
colored centre. The habit of the plant is 
particularly graceful, the leaves being 
asia 2S gracefully twisted unlike any other variety. 
TUBEROUS BEGONIA. Asa border to the dark-leaved sorts, it is 
admirable, and its graceful habit, with its vivid contrast of color, will make it valuable as a pot plant ora cen- 
tre plant for vases. Price, $1.00 per doz. ; $6.UU per 100. 
HYBRID GLOXINIAS. 
We offer this year a grand assortment 
of the above, specially selected for us 
from a prize European collection. They 
are among the handsomest of our sum- 
mer blooming plants, the rich and varied 
coloring of the flowers being beautiful 
in the extreme, many of them beautifully 
speckled ; flowers three inches long by 
two inches in diameter; upright and 
pendulous ; colors crimson, violet, rose, 
scarlet, white, etc. The bulbs should 
be started in April, and after blooming 
all summer require a season of rest 
from November to April. This is 
done by gradually withholding water 
4 from them. They attain the greatest 
perfection if grown in light, rich soil 
in a shady, well ventilated frame. 
After they are done growing, they 
may be kept ina warm, dry cellar, or 
under the stage of a green-house, or 
any warm place where they don’t get 
wet. Price, $2.00 per doz.; $12.00 
per 190
