BBGONIAS, Tuberous-Rooted. 
The Tuberous- Rooted Begonias are among the handsomest of our 
summer-flowering bulbs. They are not grown to the extent they should 
be ; they require no more care than geraniums ; have a greater range 
of color, and will bloom continuously throughout the summer, even 
when geraniums droop through lack of moisture and fail to unfold their 
flowers. Planted either in the rockery or flower border, they rival the 
geraniums with their rich and brilliant colors, ranging from the most 
delicate shade of yellow and salmon to the most striking crimson and 
scarlet.

GLOXINIAS. 
This gorgeous exotic is as easil}' grown and cared for as many of the 
common flowers. They will bloom in si.x weeks from time dry bulb is 
planted. Keep the bulbs in pots in the house, or on the veranda, in 
boxes or little frames outside, and you can cut the flowers all summer. 
The bulbs should be started in a warm place — greenhouse, hotbed or 
sunny window. They will bloom till late in summer, when they should 
be dried off, letting the leaves die ; the pots can be kept over winter in 
a cellar free from frost. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
SPOTTED CAl,l,A. 
The leaves are rich, deep green, finely spotted with white. Thus the 
plant, even when not in flower, is ornamental. It is in all other respects 
like the favorite old Calla. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
CAL,ADIUMS (Elepbant's Ear). 
The Caladium esculeniitm is one of the handsomest of the ornamen- 
tal-leaved plants. It will grow in any good garden soil, and is of 
the easiest culture. To gain the best results it should be planted 
where it will obtain plenty of water and an abundance of rich compost. 
Roots planted in the spring will make good growth in the summer, and 
in the fall they should be taken up and stored in a cellar. Leaves 3 feet 
or more in length and nearly as broad. There is nothing so good as this 
Caladium for a grand bed of foliage in the garden. First size bulbs, 
10 cts. each; by mail, 15 cts. each, %\ per doz. Extra-large bulbs, 
15 cts. each ; by mail, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.
