AUTUMN EDITION, DINGEE GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



Gloire de Loraine Begonia 



Dingee's Flowering Begonias 



Gloire de Loraine Begonias 



The handsomest of all flowering Begonias 

 and one of the best house plants ever intro- 

 duced. All winter long it is a mass of soft, 

 rose-pink flowers, and we know of no plant 

 which is more beautiful for home orna- 

 mentation. Strong, healthy plants, 40 cts. 

 each, 2 for 75 cts., postpaid. 



Dingee's Flowering Begonias 



A beautiful class of plants, with free- 

 blooming qualities. The foliage is attract- 

 ive and odd, while the flowers are exceed- 

 ingly graceful and beautiful. Their colors 

 include the most brilliant shades of red, 

 yellow, crimson, salmon, etc., and make a 

 display which is hardly equaled by any 

 other class of house-plants. For summer 

 blooming in a shaded location, window boxes 

 or for veranda decorations these varieties 

 are unexcelled. 



Price, except where noted: Strong plants, 

 15 cts. each, 4 for 50 cts., 9 for $1.00, post- 

 paid.
