Begonia Rex — These handsome foliage 

 plants far out show all others, their lustrous 

 tints making irregular blotches and shades of 

 color combination classes them amongst the 

 very finest of plants. They delight in a warm 

 shady place, when watering avoid wetting the

 of color. Price, 15c. and 25c. each, extra 

 specimens, 50c. each. 



Begonias — The Begonia is to-day the most 

 popular house-plant, and deservedly so, for 

 there is nothing that gives such a magnificent 

 display of bloom all through the year, or 

 grows as well as in the average dwelling 

 house.

 variety, of stifi", upright habit; foliage large, 

 somewhat in style of B. Rubra, but more than 

 twice as large; upper side deep green, under 

 side purplish red; flowers beautiful coral in 

 large pendant panicles. 



Rubra — This Begonia is still a great 

 favorite. The flowers are rich coral red, 

 hanging in large pendant clusters; these 

 combined with the rich green foliage, makes 

 it one of the best plants for house.

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine— New. The 

 very finest Begonia in existence. There is no 

 doubt of its superiority over all others, of 

 quite recent introduction and has created a 

 sensation wherever seen. Destined to be- 

 come the most popular of its entire family be- 

 ginning to bloom in very small-sized plants, 

 and continuing a perfect mass of beauty its 

 entire life. Plants 10 to 12 inches high are 

 perfectly grand and cannot be too highly 

 praised, its flowers are a most distinct clear 

 rose color, nothing washy or faded in any 

 stage of development. The foliage is of a 

 bright olive color, its habit of growth is 

 branching and sturdy, and is highly recom- 

 mended by the most eminent expert horticul- 

 turists who have thus far had the opportunity 

 of seeing it. We credit ourselves as being 

 the introducers of this fine Begonia in this 

 our sunny South. We control the largest 

 and healthiest stock in the South. Clean 

 vigorous plants, 50c., 75c. and $1.00. 



We took first prize for Crotons at last Flower Show.
