TtiBEReeS-ROOTEB BEG0NIAS. 



Tuberous-rooted Begonias are new and distinctly beautiful flowers, 

 which can be grown and cared for as easily as Geraniums. The large and 

 healthy American-grown bulbs we send out produce all Summer in profu- 

 sion, gorgeous and brilliant flowers, 3 to 5 inches in diameter. An entirely 

 new effect. Please read our descriptions and directions for culture below. 



THESE splendid new Begonias are 

 very beautiful and unsurpassed for 

 bedding or pot culture. As will be 

 seen by our illustration, the plants 

 present a striking appearance, being 

 covered with magnificent showy flow- 

 ers. The bulbs or tubers can be easily 

 grown, succeeding best, however, in light, 

 \ loamy soil and a somewhat shaded situation. 

 After blooming all Summer, the bulbs, if in 

 beds, should be taken up in November, dried 

 off like Gladiolus or Tuberoses, and packed 

 in a box of coarse sand or saw-dust, placed 

 in a dry place, secure from cold ; they will 

 then be ready for the next season. If in pots, 

 they can be gradually dried off in November 

 by withholding water; when well dried out, 

 put the pots containing bulbs in a dry warm 

 place, until the next April, when the roots 

 can be shaken out and replanted for Sum- 

 mer flowering as before.
