Everblooming Bedding Varieties 



The following are varieties of Begonia Semperflorens, and take rank as 

 bedding plants with Geraniums and Coleus, doing equally well in full sun- 

 light, and surpassing both in positions partially or wholly in shade. They are 

 of sturdy growth, growing about 1 foot high, and forming dense bushes, which, 

 from May until frost, are completely hidden with flowers. As pot plants for win- 

 ter flowering they are superb, remaining a sheet of bloom throughout the entire 

 year. Easily raised from seed, which should be started either indoors or in a 

 hotbed.
