Frilled Tuberous Begonia. 



DREER'S 

 SUPERB TUBEROUS=ROOTED 



BEGONIAS. 



This charming class of Begonias are perhaps the handsomest 

 of all summer-flowering, tuberous-rooted plants, and deserve 

 even greater popularity. Improvements made in recent years in 

 size, texture and coloring are really phenomenal, vpith 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, while the 

 double-flowering sorts are perfect rosettes, full and double to the 

 centre. Their culture is of the simplest, and, with the least 

 regard for their requirements, will repay with an abundance and brilliancy 

 of bloom not equalled by any other class of plants. Their culture is fully 

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

 50 cts. ; copies free to customers who ask for it when ordering.
