Dreer's Superb Tuberous-rooted 

 Begonias 



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

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

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

 coloring are really phenomenal, with flowers frequently meas- 

 uring 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 scarlet and richest crimson. Par- 

 ticularly 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 will repay with an abun- 

 dance 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. 



Our strain is the finest American grown stock obtainable.
