Dreer’s Superb Tuberous-rooted Begonias 
Illustrated in Colors on Plate Opposite 
This charming class of Begonias is perhaps the 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 frequently 
measuring from 4 to 6 inches across, and colors ranging from the purest white and the most delicate tints of pink, yellow and salmon to 
the most intense and richest crimson. Particularly useful for planting in porch or window boxes in a semi-shady position, also for outdoor 
planting in partially shaded position, where if they are planted in well drained light soil they will produce more bloom than any other 
plants that can be grown in such a place. Their culture is fully described in our book, ‘‘Dreer’s Hints on the Growing of Bulbs,” price 
25 cts. Copies free to customers who ask for it when ordering. 
Crested Tuberous-rooted Begonias 
A distinct, novel and most interesting type, with large, substantial 
flowers, each petal carries a cockscomb-like crest which extends from 
the base of the petal to near the edge, where it terminates in a series of 
charming undulations. Unique and beautiful.
