TUBEROUS BEGONTAS. 
The Tuberous-Rooted Begonias are among the hand- 
somest of our summer-flowering bulbs. They are not grown 
to the extent they should be, as they require no more care 
than geraniums, have as fine a range of color, and will bloom 
continuously throughout the summer, even when geraniums 
droop through lack of moisture and fail to unfold their 
flowers.
