rg BEGONIAS. 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED VARIETIES. 
The tuberous-rooted begonias are among the most 
) | famed and fashionable of flowers at the present time. 
The dry tubers may be set in the open ground asSsoon as 
the soil becomes warm. A wealth of bloom will be 
| afforded during summer and fall. The flowers are of 
| many bright hues. Some of the newer types, especially 
& | the singles, have flowers 3 inches, or even 4 inches 
across, and are of almost dazzling beauty. Bulbs should 
be kept in a dry, warm place during winter. I this year 
offer several grand novelties in tuberous-rooted be- 
gonias as well as a list of the standard sorts.

to surpass the

and brilliancy; 
equals the glad- 
iolus as a cut

blooms from 
June until De- 
cember. Plants bear from 6 to 20 grand flower 
stalks all the time, each holding at a height of 3 to 
4 feet great clusters of flame-colored scalloped flow- 
ers of indescribable beauty and brillianecy. Hach 
cluster keeps perfect several weeks and when it 
fades, two or three more are ready to take its place. 
Fall frosts do not kill it or spoil its bloom, and itis 
as brilliant as ever long after all other garden flow- 
ers have been killed. For cutting it is unsurpassed, 
and the beautiful long spikes will keep for several 
weeks in water. Further comment seems unneces- 
sary. I can supply fine dormant plants that should a ] -
