BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



Tuberous Begonias. 



Tuberous= Rooted Begonias. 



Tuberous-rooted Begonias are among the handsomest and most 

 popular of our summer-flowering bulbs, both for planting in the open 

 border for summer decoration and for growing in pots for the green- 

 house, 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 gorgeousness of their effect in masses or their grace- 

 ful appearance in beds and borders. We have made a specialty of 

 these charming plants for several years, have tried them thoroughly, 

 and have no hesitation in saying they are destined to play a very 

 important part in the bedding of the near future. With 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 drying, stored away 

 in dry sand or similar material in a cool place free from froft until the 

 spring, when tLey r may be started in pots before planting in the garden.

 BOUGA1NVILLEA GLABRA SANDERIANA. 



A new variety and a plant that we feel 

 certain will become very popular as a 

 pot plant. We give the introducer's 

 description : " It affords us great pleas- 

 ure to offer this new 

 flowering plant. We 

 have grown this new 

 Bougainvillea in a green- 

 house, where it has con- 

 tinued flowering for seven 

 months, small and large 

 plants alike being covered 

 with blossoms. Even 

 plants in thumb-pots 

 were laden with bloom. 

 The house in which our 

 plants have been cultiva- 

 ted have been a sheet of 

 flowers from May until 

 December. It produces 

 as freely as a Fuchsia its 

 da z z ling roxy cri mson 

 flowers, lasting so long in 

 perfection and produced 

 in smallest pots under all 

 conditions, in amazing 

 profusion." 50 cts each
