BEGONIA VERNON. 
This beautiful new Begonia, coming absolutely true from seed, has been universally 
accepted as one of the most useful and really meritorious introductions for years, being 
of unusual value for bedding, and will stand our hot summer sun admirably. In habit 
and freedom of bloom it quite resembles the well known Begonia Semperflorens; its 
numerous flowers are of a brilliant orange carmine, with bright yellow centre, gor- 
geously set off with its handsome foliage, which is stiff and glossy, and in color a rich 
metallic green, spotted and margined with bronzy purple, changing to a rich, dark 
red as the age of the foliage advances. But above all, they bloom with the greatest 
profusion the entire summer, from seed sown in the early spring, and is destined to be- 
come one of the grandest and most popular flowers for bedding as well as pot culture, 
Packet, 10 cemts; 3 packets, 25 cents.
