BEGONIAS 



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 sunlight, 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 winter 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. (See cut.) per pkt.
