Dreer's Superb 

 Tuberou5=rooted Begonias 



This charming class of Begonias is perhaps ihe 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 measuring from 4 to b 

 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 sim- 

 plest, 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 de- 

 scribed in our book, 

 "Dreer's Hints on the 

 Growing of Bulbs," price 

 25 cts. Copies free to 

 customers who ask for it

 ders, or for planting out upon the lawn; they are used exten- 

 sively in many of the public parks, where their decorative value 

 is greatly appreciated. To obtain the best results it should be 

 planted where it will obtain plenty of water and an abundance 

 of rich compost. When full size it stands six to ten feet high,
