BE:G0NIAS, Tuberous-Rooted. 



The Tuberous-Rooted Begonias are among the handsomest of our 

 rummer-flowering bulbs. They are not grown to the extent they should 

 be ; they require no more care than geraniums ; have a greater range 

 of color, and will bloom continuously throughout the summer, even 

 when geraniums droop through lack of rnoisture and fail to unfold their 

 flowers. Planted either in the rockery or flower border, they rival the 

 geraniums with their ri'-h and brilliant colors, ranging from the most 

 delicate shade of yellow and salmon to the most striking crimson and 

 scarlet.

 common flowers. The)' will bloom in six weeks from time dry bulb is 

 planted. Keep the bulbs in pots in the house, or on the veranda, in 

 bo.xes or little frames outside, and you can cut the flowers all summer. 

 The bulbs should be started in a warm place — greenhouse, hotbed or 

 sunny window. They will bloom till late in summer, when the)' should 

 be dried off, letting the leaves die ; the pots can be kept over winter in 

 a cellar free from frost. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 



SPOTTED CAI^I^A.

 plant, even when not in flower, is ornamental. It is in all other respects 

 like the favorite old Calla. 15 cts. each, §1.25 per doz. 



CALrADIUMS (Elepbant's Ear). 



The Caladium esctdentiini is one of the handsomest of the ornamen- 

 tal-leaved plants. It will grow in anv good garden soil, and is of 

 the easiest culture. To gain the best results it should be planted 

 where it will obtain plenty of water and an abundance of rich compost. 

 Roots planted in the spring will make good growth in the summer, and 

 in the fall they should be taken up and stored in a cellar. Leaves 3 feet 

 or more in length and nearl}' as broad. There is nothing so good as this 

 Caladium for a grand bed of foliage in the garden. First size bulbs, 

 10 cts. each ; by marl, 15 cts. each, Ji per doz. Extra-large buljDS,
