REX or PAINTED LEAF BEGONIAS. 



These are unquestionably the most showy and gorgeous Begonias grown. The colorings, blendings 

 and metallic lustre contained in them are bewildering and render description inadequate while the 

 size and form of the leaves are of greatest variety. This year we have secured a grand collection of the 

 best sorts from Germany and Belgium, care being taken to select only those that are strong growing 

 and highly colored. It would require much space to offer them with descriptions of the different 

 varieties but many of them are beautifully spotted and unique in their markings Rich metallic 

 shades of various colors are blended with silver, light green, velvety dark green, pink, rose, blood-red 

 crimson and maroon. Some are covered with fine hairs giving the leaves a frosted appearance. They 

 are easily grown, rich but light soil, warmth and shade in summer being essential. We offer plants 

 from 3-inch pots, 25c. each. Our selection of 6 named sorts, 51.50; our selection of 12 named sorts, 

 $2.50. Mixed without names 20c. each. $2.00 per doz.
