THE LOVETT COMPANY, 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



This class has been so wonderfully improved of late 

 years by hybridization that the flowers now produced 

 are amazing to behold and are brought forth so pro-

 many of them from fiye to seven inches in diameter, of 

 the most brilliant and varied colors. They should be 

 planted in rich, moist soil, in partial shade. Our bulbs 

 are American gT0\\n and extra fine.
