MISS EMMA V. WHITE, 



BUTTERFLY FLOWER 



(Schizanthus). 

 These are charming little plants, with delicate 

 flowers of white, pink, lilac or purple, curiously- 

 marked with crimson, lilac, purple and yellow 

 blotches, all resembling a miniature butterfly. 

 For combining with coarser flowers in decora- 

 ting a bouquet, such as Nasturtiums, Golden 

 Wave Coreopsis, etc., they are excellent. An- 

 nual. Mixed. Pkt., 3 cts. 



BEGONIA. 



My "Culture of Flowers," given free 

 with each order, contains minute de- 

 tails for the planting and care of Be- 

 gonias, so that the least experienced 

 need not fail. As they come into 

 flower much sooner than do many of 

 the greenhouse plants raised from 

 seed, one does not have to wait so 

 long for the results of his labor of 

 love, for such a labor it is for the true 

 lover of flowers to watch these inter- 

 esting plants in their different stages 

 of development. 



Semperflorens Hybrida. These 

 are among the easiest Begonias to 

 raise from seed. They form beau- 

 tiful round plants, 18 inches tall, 

 and bloom from one year's end to 

 another, coming into flower when 

 not more than two inches high. 

 Some of the flowers are pure white, 

 some blush, others light pink, 

 white with pink edge, and 

 other pretty combinations. 

 Beautiful for bouquets and 

 fine for bedding, and especial- 

 ly satisfactory for amateurs 

 to grow. Pkt., 4 cts. 

 Semperflorens Ternon. 

 One of the best bedding varie- 

 ties. Tike the above, but flow- 

 ers are scarlet and foliage a 

 dark, shaded red. Pkt., 4c. 



CALIFORNIA 

 FIBROUS BEGONIA 



IyOvers of Begonias will take 

 great pleasure in this mixture, 

 a new California strain which 

 will yield many new and 

 charming sorts, with beautiful 

 foliage and splendid large 

 flowers. The seed is saved 

 from grand new Begonias and 

 from hybridized flowers of 

 the best named varieties. 

 Pkt., 6 Cts. 





Hunter, N. D., April 1, 189T.— "I 

 was delighted with your neat little 

 catalogue and well pleased with 

 the prices of your seeds."

BEGONIA, TUBEROUS-ROOTED. 



The Tuberous-Rooted Begonias have gained great no- 

 toriety for their large and showy blossoms. Blooming 

 only m the summer time, they are fine for bedding, or 

 for making brilliant the conservatory window at a time 

 when most house plants are resting. For bedding, se- 

 lect a shady situation, making the bed rich with well 

 rotted manure and leaf mould, if obtainable. If planted 

 in a favorable location, they will give a magnificent 

 display throughout the summer. Pkt., 8 Cts. 

 Begonias, mixed. The above four varieties mixed. 



Pkt., 6 cts.
