BEGONIA CORALLINA LUCERNA. 
A superb new shrubby Begonia of the same type as the popular Coral 
Begonia, growing into shapely specimens two feet or more in height, and 
producing gigantic trusses of from 60 to 70 very large flowers of a bronzy- 
red color, and flowering continuously from April to November. In the 
autumn the seed vessels assume a yellowish tint, which contrasts pleas- 
antly with the red of the flowers. | The foliage is very ornamental, being 
dotted with silvery-white, and with prettily serrated edges, 35 cts. each. 
NEW DOUBLE FRINGED TUBEROUS 
BEGONIAS (Begonia Hybrida Parreii) 
Our illustration conveys but a faint idea of the distinct beauty of these 
new double fringed Begonias, which originated with our grower of these 
indispensable summer-flowering buibs. The individual flowers are iden- 
tical in every way with the best types of double Begonias, of large size, 
full double form, and brilliant colors, but the edges of the petals are 
deeply cut, or fringed, adding a most desirable character of lightness to 
the flowers, 
We offer three distinct colors, White, Rose and Scarlet. 50 cts. each; 
$5.00 per dozen. One of each color for $1.25. 
TWO NEW FANCY CALADIUMS. 
Entirely distinct from anything we have ever offered, showing a deli- 
cacy of coloring and tracery not found in any other varieties. 
Hildegard Nehrling. Leaves very large, ground 
color creamy-white, with well defined ribs of an 
Indian-lake color, the entire Jeaf marbled 
with a deep grass-green, which markings 
become very dense at the edges; the 
centre of the leaf is beautifully suf- 
fused with delicate mauve-rose. 
Lord Derby. The young leaf 
when first unfolding is of a trans- 
parent, delicate mauve, with creamy- 
yellow ribs and veins; this ground 
color, as the leaves mature, becomes 
very intense,and the ribs, which are very 
distinctly defined, become a deep green, 
while the entire leaf is densely veined 
and reticulated, as well as edged, with a 
broad border of the same color. 
BrconraA CorAtiina LUCERNA. 
New Yellow Calla (Richardia) 
MRS. ROOSEVELT.

adapted for outdoor cultivation in the 
same manner asa Dahlia or Gladio- 
lus, lifting the bulbs in fall and storing 
until time to plant the following spring. 
It isaremarkably strong grower, 
producing freely large pale yellow 
flowers, and when not in bloom its 
rich, dark green foliage, which is dis- 
tinctly and freely spotted and blotched 
with white, makes it a conspicuous and 
attractive subject in the garden. Large, strong 
bulbs which will flower freely this season, 50 cts, 
each; $5.00 per doz.

Dousie FRINGED 
Grand New Variegated Foliage Plant. BEGONIA. 
Bougainvillea Glabra, William K. Harris. 
One of the most interesting and at the same time most beautiful and 
useful variegated foliage flowering plants yet introduced. The green- 
leaved Bougainvillea Glabra Sanderiana is weil known as one of the most 
decorative fowering plants, and is extensively grown for use at Easter, 
In this new variety the foliage is beautifully marbled, with creamy white 
ona dark green ground. These markings are very decided, and the pro- 
portion of the two colors is almost equally divided. 
Not only valuable for decorative purposes in or out of bloom, but also 
very useful for outdoor bedding, for use in window and porch boxes, for 
the bordering of ornamental foliage beds such as Crotons, etc., or as an 
individual specimen on the lawn. It succeeds equally well in full sun or 
in partial shade. Awarded a certificate of merit by the Society of American 
Florists, 1905; also a silver medal (the highest award) by the Pennsyl- 
vania Horticultural Society. Strong plants in 3 inch pots, 75 cts. each ; 
strong plants in 4-inch pots, $1.00 each; specimen plants, $2.50, $5 00, 
$7.50 and $10.00 each, according to size. 
GORGEOUS NEW GLADIOLUS 
“Golden West.” 
The most strikingly brilliant and beautiful Gladiolus we have ever 
seen; in color a clear orange-scarlet, the lower petals traced and spotted 
with golden-yellow, faintly suffused with violet shadings, and the color 
being almost as intense on the back as on the face of the petals; the 
flowers are extra large, with well-rounded petals of great substance ; from 
4 to 6 flowers are open at one time on each spike, which, by reason of 
their unusual substance, resist the wind and sun and remain in perfectiqn 
for a long time. The habit of the plant is ideal, strong and sturdy, about 3 
feet high, requiring no staking or tying, never producing any crooked : 
stems. 30 cts. each; $300 per doz; $20.00 per 100. BouGAInvILLEA GLABRA, WILLIAM K. Harris.
