Begonia Tnrnford Hall. 



This is the new Lorraine Begonia which was sold in a lim- 

 ited way last winter and which attracted much attention. It 

 must not be confounded with the white variety Caledonia, sent 

 out a few years ago, from which it is quite distinct, being a pure 

 white, flushed with apple blossom pink on the edges. Thrifty 

 J^-inch pots ready in June. $3. 25 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Tuberous-Rooted Begonias. 



Through careful selection every season sees an advance in the 

 quality of these beautiful Begonias. Our stock is grown for us 

 by one of the most eminent specialists in Belgium whose strain 

 is celebrated for its superior size, rich coloring, form and sub- 

 stance. 



The price is as low as is consistent with good quality ; the 

 retail florist who is growing a few hundred bulbs for his spring 

 trade, will find many of the cheap strains now offered dear at 

 any price. We offer but one quality, and that is the best.

New Hybrid Tuberous Begonias. 



Dnke Zeppelin and Lafayette. 



These two gorgeous Begonias were beautifully shown in 

 colors on the cover of our Garden Book for 1904. They were 

 sold in large numbers and gave universal satisfaction. Both 

 varieties are of strong vigorous growth, but dwarf in habit, never 

 exceeding 8 to 10 inches in height and throw up numberless 

 stems of full double flowers from early in July until cut down by 

 frost. A continuous display of color which is simply dazzling 

 in brightness and which is not equalled by any other flower. 

 Duke Zeppelin. Pure rich scarlet. Strong bulbs, 15 cents 



each; $1.50 per dozen ; $12.00 per 100. 

 Lafayette. Brilliant crimson scarlet. Strong bulbs, 25 cents 



each ; $2.50 per dozen ; $18 00 per 100. 



Frilled Tuberous-Rooted Begonias. 



A most unique form, with very large single flowers which are 

 entirely distinct, the petals being wavy and beautifully frilled on 

 the edges similar to the newer forms of Petunias. Strong bulbs 

 in carmine, scarlet, orange, salmon, white, yellow, pink and 

 blush. 25 cents each ; $2.50 per dozen.
