TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. kniphofia tritoma), 



Torch Lily. 



These ne"^- Begonias are tnilv wonderful. The steps 

 in the improvement of Tnberoiis Begonias, at first 

 slight and uncertain, have at last resulted in hybrids of 

 marvelous beauty. Immense flowers, many of them 

 from five to seven inches in diameter, of the most bril- 

 liant and varied colors, while the form of the blooms ra 

 different varieties imitate those of the Rose, the Cam- 

 eUia, the Pteony. and the Hollyhock. The plants form 

 perfect fountains of flowei-s for six or eight months, as 

 they begin to bud shortly after they start into growth 

 and continue until' late in the fall. Their large and 

 telling blooms, thi'own up in such countless profusion, 

 are in all shades of white, yellow, vermilion, crimson, 

 and rose, both single and perfectly double : while the 

 foliage is dai'k gi'een. broad and handsome. The flow- 

 ei"s are very useful for cutting, as in a bouquet their 

 pendant tresses are exceedingly attractive. They may 

 be easily gTown. in pots, starting inside in March or 

 April. Tuberous Begonias also make magnificent bed- 

 ding plants, but should be planted in rich, moist soil in
