Tuberous= Rooted Begonias. 



This charming class of Begonias are perhaps the handsomest of all sum- 

 mer-flowering tuberous-rooted plants, and deserves much greater popularity. 

 With the exception of the Dwarf Cannas no other plants have, during the 

 last decade, received such close attention from the hybridizer, and the 

 improvement made during that period in size, texture and coloring is really 

 phenomenal, with flowers frequently measuring from 45 to 6 inches across, 

 and colors ranging from the purest while and the most delicate tints of pink, 

 yellow and orange to the most intense scarlet and richest crimson, while the 

 doable flowering sorts are perfect rosettes, full and double to the centre. 

 Their culture is of the simplest, and, with the least regard for their require- 

 ments, will repay with such an abundance and b.rilliancy of bloom, not 

 equaled by any other class of plants; they delight in a rich, mellow, well- 

 drained soil where they can be liberally supplied with water, preferably in a 

 position where they will be shaded from the direct rays of the sun during the 

 hottest hours of the day, and will succeed equally well grown as pot plants for 

 the conservatory or window garden. On the approach of cold weather the 



tubers should be taken up, and, after drying, stored away in dry sand or similar material in a cool place free from frost until spring, 



when the)' may be started in pots before planting in the garden.
