MAMMOTH FLOWERING TUBEROUS BEQ0N1A5. 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS are among the handsomest of our summer flowering bulbs. Being of remarkably easy growth, and ofsucha- 

 beautiful range of coloring, they are necessarily favorites everywhere, requiring no more care than Geraniums, they even thrive- 

 well when Geraniums droop from drought. The tubers can be taken up and stored like the tube rose, and when dry covered with 

 sawdust. Care should be taken not to give the bulb too much water when first set out, but increase the quantity as plant grows.

THE NAPOLEON CLIMBER. 



The greatest novelty among climbers. Most certainly will this greatest of all members' 



»— of the Cinnamon Vine family reach a summit of popularity that will overshadow 



its rivals. This charming climber has a history that is really interesting. "When Napoleon Bonaparte was in the height of his reign,. 



all nations bowed to his conquering power. Many sent him costly 

 presents and souvenirs almost without end. Among the latter a 

 province of China sent a bulb of this valuable climber, which was 

 highly cherished by Napoleon, and the original may be seen grow- 

 ing at Versailles by all who may chance to visit the favorite resi- 

 dence of the great French Emperor. 



The plants are very nice for sill ornaments, or any out-door pur- 

 pose, where a climbing vine can be used to good advantage. They 

 are perfectly hardy, the stem dying down every autumn, but wiU 

 grow again early in the spring, and so rapidly as to completely, 

 cover any trellis or arbor very early in the season. The vines often- 

 run 25 feet or more, and when trained over and above a door or 

 window make an ornament much admired, while its many clusters- 

 of delicate white flowers send out an amount of fragrance that is- 

 trul^ wonderful, and the aroma to a great degree resembles cinna- 

 mon, which, to say the least, is very pleasing. The cordate foliage 

 is exceedingly pretty being of a glossy green hue. The Napoleon 

 Climber, though easily grown, will fully award any extra atten- 

 tion given it. Soil should be very light and rich, and the plant 

 mulched thoroughly every fall. Trim roots, that will bloom this- 

 year, grown from stock secured from "original" at Versailles. lOc-- 

 each. 3 for 25c.

 ter, producing, if the blooms are re-
