SINGLE AND DOUBLE TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS. 



Tuberous= Rooted Begonias. 



The strain of Tuberous-Booted Begonias we offer is too well known 

 1o require lengthy description, suffice it to say that we have used the 

 same care with this as in previous seasons, to select only such 

 varieties as are adapted to our climate and certain to give satisfactory 

 results. The bulbs are of good size, well ripened and first-class in 

 every respect. 



Note the reduction in prices, which are as low as is consistent with 

 good quality ; the retail florist who is growing a few hundred bulbs 

 for his spring trade, to sell over the counter in bloom, will find many 

 of the cheap indifferent strains now offered dear at any price. We 

 offer but one quality, and that is the best.

 $8.00 per 100. 



Begonia Haageana. 



We consider this the finest ornamental flowering Begonia 

 yet introduced and is a perfect gem. It is of German origin 

 and was introduced some two years since, but by some 

 strange coincidence it originated about the same time as a 

 seedling in a private establishment near Germantown, Phil- 

 adelphia, from where we secured our stock, intending to 

 disseminate it under the name of Excelsior ; but after com- 

 parison, finding it to be identical with Haageana, we retain 

 the name under which it has originally been introduced. 



It is of strong, erect habit, producing naturally very 

 symmetrical plants, which are in flower the year round ; the 

 flowers, which are of the largest size, are of a creamy white 

 with just sufficient pink to give them a bright, cheerful 

 glow ; the foliage is of a large size, but not coarse ; is of a 

 bronzy green above and red below ; it makes an admirable 

 pot plant and at the same time is an excellent variety for 

 out-door bedding. 



2\ inch pots, 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz. 



Carex Japonica Variegata. 



An exquisitely graceful new Japanese grass with slender 



green foliage edged with white. It is extremely easy to 



grow and makes a most excellent plant for house culture as 



well as for the garden, where it is said to be quite hardy. 



2 iu. pots, $1.00 per doz. ; $8.00 per 100. 





Carex Japonica Variegata.
