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 are really phenomenal, with flowers measur- 
ing 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 25 cts. Copies free to 
customers who ask for it when ordering.
