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, 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, 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. 



SINGLE TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



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

 Scarlet, White, Pink, Crimson, Yellow and Orange. 10 cts. 



each; §1.00 per doz. ; $6.00 per 100. 

 Hixed. All colors. 8 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



FRILLED TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



This strain, by careful selection, has been wonderfully improved, until 

 it is now unquestionably the finest of the tuberous-rooted section. The 

 flowers are of large size, from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, with beautifully 

 frilled and wavy petals, not unlike the finest single Petunias. We can 

 supply in Red, White, Pink and Yellow. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 



DOUBLE-FLOWERING 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



We can supply these in the following separate colors, also in mixture, 

 as under: 

 Scarlet, Crimson, Pink, White and Yellow. 20 cts. each; $2,00 



per doz. 

 Mixed. All colors. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



The two varieties offered below are of strong but dwarf habit, throwing 

 up numberless stems, of full, double flowers, about 1J inches across; from 

 early in July until cut down by severe frost. A continuous display of color, 

 which, for richness and intensity, is unapproached. 

 Zeppelin. Intense pure vermilion-scarlet. 

 Lafayette. Brilliant crimson-scarlet. 



20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz ; $15.00 per 100. 



NEW DOUBLE-FRINGED 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



(Begonia Hybrida Parrei.) 



These new double-fringed, tuberous-rooted begonias are of 

 large size, full, double form and brilliant colors, the edges of the 

 petals deeply cut, or fringed, adding a most desirable character 

 of lightness to the flowers. They are just as easy to grow as the 

 ordinary tuberous .rooted sorts. We offer three distinct colors: 

 White, Rose and Scarlet. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



One of each color for 75 cts. 



FIBROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS. 



This class is entirely distinct from the tuberous-rooted sorts, 



and are among the freest-flowering ornamental leaved pot plants 



for house or conservatory decoration, flowering continuously 



summer and winter. 



Alba Picta. Leaves glossy green, freely spotted with silvery- 

 white; flowers white. 



Argentea Guttata. Foliage of rich green, spotted with silver. 



Corallina Lucerna. Gigantic trusses of bronzy-red flowers, 

 in bloom continuously from April to November. 



Haagsana. As a permanent plant for the window garden or 

 the conservatory, this is one of the most desirable, and an 

 easy variety to manage; the same plants can be carried from 

 year to year, finally developing into grand specimens, which, 

 during the winter months, are loaded with large trusses of 

 creamy-white flowers suffused with pink, the foliage being 

 bold and attractive, of a bronzy green above and reddish on 

 the under side. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Metallica. Lustrous bronze-green foliage; veins depressed 

 and dark red, rosy-white flowers. 



Rubra (Coral Begonia). Flowers scarlet-rose; glossy and 

 wax-like.
