The New Tuberous Rooted Begonias are among the most beautiful 

 ^f 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 handsome ; from four to six inches across, and 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 nowers year after year. They are very grand and beautiful and 

 ■extensively planted in the finest places.
