NEW TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS.— Single 



Flowered. 



The following novel and beautiful varieties will be found admirably adapted for the sum- 

 mer and autumn decoration of the greenhouse and conservatory ; for they produce in the 

 utmost profusion magnificent flowers of very large size, and great variety in color. They do 

 not require stove cultivation, but will succeed well in a greenhouse. The tubers rest during* 

 the winter months, similar to Gloxinias, and can be easily re-started into growth in the 

 spring. Their profuse flowering quality, and the charming variety of color of their blossoms, 

 render them extremely showy and effective.
