TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS. 



The Tuberous-Rooted Begonias are among the handsomest of our summer flowering bulbs. They are not grown to 

 the extent they should be, as they require no more care than Geraniums, have as fine a range of color, and wilt bloom 

 •continuously throughout the summer, even when Geraniums droop through lack of moisture and fail to unfold their 

 flowers. Planted eitber in the rockery or flower border, they rival the Geraniums with their rich and varied colors, 

 ranging from the most delicate shade of yellow and salmon to the most striking crimson and scarlet. We have made 

 fi specialty of these charming plants for several years, have tried them thoroughly, and have no hesitation in saying 

 they are destined to play a very important part in the bedding of the near future. With us they have bloomed 

 profusely when planted out on rockwork or in the open ground, and have been a decided attraction.
