BEGONIA DISCOLOR REX. 



These new Begonias have been obtained from Begonia Discolor and the Ornamental Leaved Varieties ; they par- 

 ticipate of the two essential qualities of the parent plants, the vigorous growth, elegant shape and flowers of the one, 

 and beautiful foliage of the other; they thrive splendidly in the open ground, or in pots, in a shaded situa.ion, con- 

 stitute splendid groups in the garden and are at the same time a real ornament when cultivated in pots, in the con- 

 servatory or green-house. 50 cents each, or the set of nine varieties, $4.00.
