BKGONIAS 



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 in- 

 doors or in a hotbed. (See cut. )
