•""^o^'**-** *-'»*"«^ M^^f^f^^*.i.it,. gorgeous summer flowering 

 tuberous plant ever produced, and elicits exclamations of delight from 

 every one who has the good fortune to see a mass of plants blooming 

 out of doors from May until October. The vv^axy, glowmg scarlet flow- 

 ers, as double as Camellias, com- 

 pletely hide the foliage from view, 

 so that at a distance only a solid 

 mass of bloom can be seen. It 

 stands the sun better than any 

 Begonia, and blooms also well in 

 winter. Strong bulbs. 



15c. each; 4 for 50c. 



Begonia. ErS7a"SSu. 



(Bearded Begonia.) The remark- 

 able feature is that on each petal 

 a miniature forest has grown, 

 composed of curiously twisted 

 threads, forming near the center 

 of the flower a dense crest or 

 beard, giving the flower a very 

 gay and puzzling aspect. Very 

 ornamental and highly interesting.

This superb tuberous Begonia 

 is unknown in this coimtry. It 

 soon attains a height of two feet, 

 forming a fine erect, strong-

 red. It produces innumerable 

 very large, faintly sweet-scented 

 flowers of very delicate bright 

 rose, set off with golden stamens.

New Frilled 

 Tuberous Begonias 



During the past six years this 

 strain, by careful selection, has been 

 wonderfully improved, until it is 

 now unquestionably the finest of the 

 tuberous-rooted section. The flowers 

 are of large size, from 4 to 6 inches 

 in diameter, with beautifully frilled 

 and wavy petals, not itnlike the 

 finest single Petunias.
