cherry blossoms, the centre a delicately lilac-tinted white shading to

DREER'S SUPERB TUBEROUS- 

 ROOTED BEGONIAS 



Single Tuberous-Rooted Begonia 



This charming class of Begonias is perhaps the handsomest of all 

 summer-flowering, tuberous-rooted plants, and deserves even 

 greater popularity. 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 plant- 

 ing in porch or window boxes in a semi-shady position. 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 book, "Dreer's 

 Hints on the Growing of Bulbs," price 25 cts. Copies free to customers 

 who ask for it when ordering. 



We can supply these in the following colors, or in mixture, as under: 

 Scarlet, White, Pink, Crimson and Salmon. 25 cts. each; $2.50 



per do7..; $18.00 per 100. 

 Mixed. All colors. 20 cts. each; $2.00 pe-- doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



BOUGAINVILLEA 



Crimson Lake. Introduced through the Bureau of Plant Industry of 



the Department of Agriculture. 



The flowers are like all other Bougainvilleas, perhaps a trifle larger, but 

 in coloring none compare with it in richness and brilliancy. On first 

 opening a brilliant crimson-lake, retaining this color for three or four weeks, 

 after which they gradually pass to a crimson-carmine. 



In Southern California and Florida, the Bougainvilleas make gorgeous 

 climbers for outdoor planting, while in the north they are useful subjects 

 as pot plants for the conservatory or greenhouse. Good young plants, 

 25 cts. each. Strong 4-inch pots, 50 cts. each. Large plants in 5-inch pots, 

 $1.00 each.
