Summer Flowering Bulbs 



(Continued) 



Dreer's Superb 

 Tuberous -rooted Begonias 



This charming class of Begonia 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 positions, 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.
