 Flowering JgUUDO 



Tuberous-Rooted B e £ OI }ias. 



Until a few years ago the wonderful effects the tuberous Begonias produced as a bed- 

 ding plant were little known, to-day they stand at the head of the list and have deservedly 

 become popular. The dry tubers can be planted at any time when the ground is warm 

 and will produce a wealth of beauty and profusion of bloom all the Summer and Fall. 

 The flowers embrace many shades and hues, such as Crimson, Pink, White, Yellow, Orange 

 and Scarlet, of enormous size, having measured as high as 4 inches in diameter. The 

 bulbs should be taken up after frost, and kept in a dry, warm place over Winter.

 Palm," " Devil's Tongue," and otiier curious
