Begonia, Double Camellia-flowered 



Begonias, Tuberous-rooted 



For Shady Borders 



These lovely bedding plants may be grown 

 outdoors in the summer in shady places 

 where they receive plenty of moisture. For 

 early bloom, start the tubers indoors in 

 March or April in 6-inch shallow pots. 

 Soil consisting of two parts loam, one part 

 peat moss and one part well-rotted cow 

 manure will give excellent results. Set out- 

 doors in May in well-drained soil. Lift the 

 tubers in the fall and store over winter in 

 vermiculite or dry sand. 



Double Camellia-flowered 



An improved double strain which greatly 

 resembles the camellia in form of flower.

These colorful house plants may also be

Summer-Flowering Bulbs 



On pages 50 through 52 we offer a group 

 of bulbs providing exceptional decorative 

 value. Plants like Cannas and Caladiums 

 are showy, and beds of them provide 

 pleasing exotic pictures. Gladiolus are 

 beautiful in the garden, and few ever have 

 enough plants to supply the desire for 

 "Glads" in the house. Dahlias are very 

 popular both for exhibition and for cutting.
