NEW TVBEBOVS-BOOTED BEGONIAS.— Single 



Flowered. 



The following novel and beautiful varieties will be found admirably adapted 

 for the summer 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 pro- 

 fuse flowering quality, and the charming variety of color of their blossoms, 

 render them extremely showy and effective.
