Dreer's Superb 

 Tuberous -Rooted Begonias • 



This charming class of Begonias is perhaps the most handsome 

 of all the summer-flowering tuberous-rooted plants. The im- 

 provements made within the last decade in size, texture, and 

 coloring are phenomenal. It is not unusual for the flowers to 

 measure 4 to 6 inches across. They are principally useful for 

 planting in semi-shaded porch or window boxes. Also fine in 

 outdoor beds located in a partially shaded place where they will 

 bloom continuously. 



Single Frilled Tuberous-Rooted Begonia 



Single Frilled Varieties 



A wonderfully improved strain with flowers of immense size 

 all being beautifully frilled and fringed not unlike a Giant RufBed 

 Petunia. They will give an interesting and showy display. 

 Copper, Crimson, Orange, Pink, 



Salmon, Scarlet, White. 

 Any of the above: 25c each; $2.50 per doz. 

 Single Frilled Mixed. 20c each; $2.00 per doz. 



Double Frilled Mixed 



Brilliant, fully double flowers of a most pleasing formation 

 giving a graceful feathery effect found in no other flowers. In 

 mixed colors only. 30c each; $3.00 per doz. 



Double Tuberous-Rooted Begonias 



These double blooms are particularly attractive and the plants 

 bloom as freely as the frilled varieties.
