TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 



The Tuberous-rooled Begonias are among tlie handsomest of our 

 summer flowering bulbs. Tliey are not grown to tlie extent they should 

 be. Tliey bloom fontiuuously throughout the summer, till frost outs 

 them. Planted either in the rocker.v or flower border, they rival the rose 

 with their rich and varied colors, ranging from the most dehcate shades 

 of white, yellow and salmon to the most striking crimson and scarlet.
