Dingee^s Flowering Begonias 



Begonia Gloire de Lorraine 



The handsomest of all flowering 

 Beg-onias and one of the best house 

 plants ev^er introduced. All winter long 

 it is a mass of soft, rose-pink flowers, 

 and we know of no plant which is more 

 beautiful for home ornamentation.

 for 75 cts., postpaid. 



Dingee's Flowering Begonias 



A beautiful class of plants, with 

 free-blooming qualities. The foliage is 

 attractive and odd. while the flowers 

 are exceedingly graceful and beautiful. 

 Their colors include the most brilliant 

 shades of red, yellow, crimson, salmon, 

 etc., and make a display which is hard- 

 ly equaled by any other class of house- 

 plants. For summer blooming in a 

 shaded location, window boxes or for 

 veranda decorations these varieties are 

 unexcelled.
