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 our summer-flowering 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 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. 

 Wilh 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 frost until the spring, 

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

Bougainvillea Glabra Sanderiana. 



A new variety of Bougainvillea and a plant that we feel cer- 

 tain will become very popular as a pot plant. We give the 

 introducer's description : " It affords us great pleasure to offer 

 this new and by far the most useful flowering plant known. 

 We have grown this new Bougainvillea in a greenhouse, where 

 it has continued 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 

 cultivated has been a sheet 

 of flowers from May until 

 D e c e mber. 

 Many excel- 

 lent judges 

 state that 

 this will be a 

 favorite mar- 

 ket plant, as 

 it produces 

 as freely as 

 a Fuchsia its 

 d.\zz]'mgrosy 

 crimson 

 flowers, last- 

 ing so long 

 in perfection 

 and pro- 

 duced in 

 smallest pots 

 under all 

 conditions, 

 in amazing 

 profusion."
