ELLIOTT'S SUPERB TUBEROUS ROOTED 

 BEGONIAS. 



OUB STEAIN OP BEGONIAS IS UNEXCELLED. 



No class of plants of equal decorative value can be grov/n 

 with less labor and attention than the Begonia. Plant about 

 May 15th, and you will have a mass of beautiful foliage set off 

 with unsurpassed sprays of immense flowers, measuring from 4 

 to 7 inches across. The shapely glistening leaves gracefully 

 droop to the ground and form a dense oval pyramid, while this 

 is crowned with an unbroken mass of flowers endless in color 

 — from the warm rich scarlet, soft i-ose, golden yellow, pure 

 white, etc. — making a most surprising sight to any one not 

 familiar with them. The plants are covered with bloom the 

 entire season. When the foliage dies down in September or 

 October, they should be set away in a warm, dry place to 

 remain until planting time the following Spring. Our strain of 

 both double and single is superb, and must not be judged by 

 ordinary bulbs. Those who plant our Begonia bulbs will be 

 astonished at the great size and brilliancy of tlie flowers.
