74 The Conard & Jones Company—Summer Flowering Bulbs, (Contd.) 
6 e (BEGORIA 
New Tuberous-Rooted Begonia Sims 
ts Z AA Our new Tuberous-Rooted Begonias are among the most 
AN i beautiful of all Summer flowering bulbs. They grow 12 to 15 
inches high, branching freely and blooming abundantly all 
Summer and Fall. The flowers are exceedingly rich and hand- 
some; from four to six inches across; many brilliant colors, 
including red, pink, crimson, scarlet, salmon, yellow and pure 
white. The Bulbs should be started early in the house, and 
set out when ground is warm; they like rich, moist ground 
when convenient, but will do well in all usual places if mulched 
with old, well-rotted manure or some similar material to shade 
the ground and prevent it from getting too hot and dry. Keep 
roots in cellar over Winter and they will produce larger and 
finer flowers year after year. They are very grand and beau- 
tiful and extensively used in the finest places. Can be 
kept in pots or bedded out as preferred.
