Summer Flowering Bulbs — Continued 



Dreer's Superb Tuberous -rooted Begonias 



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, aie really phenomenal with flowers frequently 

 measuring from 4 to 6 inches across, and colors ranging from the purest white and the most delicate tints of pink, yellow and salmon 

 to the most intense and richest crimson. Particularly useful for planting in porch or window boxes in a semi-shady position, also for 

 outdoor planting in partially shaded positions, where if they are planted in well drained light soil they will produce more bloom than 

 any other plants that can be grown in such a place. 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.

 showy flowers. •

Hardy 

 Tuberous -rooted Begonia 



Evansiana. A handsome and distinct species from Java, growing about 

 2 feet high, with large dark green foliage and producing large, showy flesh- 

 pink flowers in the greatest profusion. A most desirable bedding plant 

 which, if planted in a well-drained position, will withstand the winter if 

 covered with a few inches of leaves at the approach of severe weather.

Rivieri. A curious and interesting Aroid when planted as an isolated 

 specimen in the mixed border in a warm sunny position in rich soil. The

 stems rising from 2 to 3 feet high; the flower is soon followed by interesting 

 massive tropical-looking foliage which is supported on thick prettily- 

 marbled stems. Strong bulbs, SI. 25 each.
