BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



SINGLE AND DOUBLE TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS. 



Tuberous=Rooted Begonias. 



Tuberous-rooted Begonias are among the handsomest and most popular 

 of cur summer-flo-nering bulbs, both for planting in the open border for 

 summer decoration and for growing in pots for the greenhouse, conservatory 

 or sitting room. Nothing can excel the brilliancy of their colors, the 

 delicacy of their tints, the richness of their waxy flowers, and the gorgeous- 

 ness of their effect in masses or their graceful appearance in beds and 

 borders. We have made a specially of these charming plants for several 

 years, have tried them thoroughly, and have no hesitation in .saying they are 

 destined to play a vrry important part in the bedding of the near future. 

 Wiih us they have bloomed profusely when planted out on rock-work or 

 in the open ground, and have been a decided attraction. They should be 

 planted about one foot apart each way, and on the approach of cold 

 weather should be taken up and the bulbs, after drj-ing. stored away in dry 

 sand or similar material in a cool place free from frost until the spring,. 

 when they may be started in pots before planting in the garden.
