Dreer's Superb Tuberous -rooted 

 Begonias 



This charming class of Begonias is perhaps the handsomest of all sum p 

 mer-flowering, tuberous-rooted plants, and deserves even greater popular- 

 ity. Improvements made in recent years in size, texture and 

 coloring are really phenomenal, with flowers measuring from 4 to 

 6 inches across, and colors ranging from the purest white and the 

 most delicate tints of pink, yellow and orange to the most intense 

 scarlet and richest crimson. Particularly useful for planting in 

 porch or window boxes in a semi-shady position. Their culture is ^ 

 of the simplest, and with the least regard for their requirements (_j»^ 

 will repay with an abundance and brilliancy of bloom not 

 equalled by any other class of plants. Their culture is fully 

 described in our book, "Dreer's Hints on the Growing of Bulbs," 

 price 25 cts. Copies free to customers who ask for it when order- 

 ing. 



Our strain is the finest American grown stock obtainable.
