BARTONIA. 



Per Pkt. 

 Plants of a succulent character, with large golden flow- 

 ers, expanding only in the middle of the day. When 

 in perfection this is a fine plant, and, although its 

 habit and foliage are less attractive than some other 

 annuals, in size and brilliancy of blossoms it is inferior 

 to none. Culture same as Aster. Hardy Annual.

BEGONIA. 



In the greenhouse or parlor in winter, the graceful pen- 

 dulous flowers of this beautiful class render them most 

 desirable, but with added beauty in their glossy waxen 

 foliage they are simply superb. They are equally 

 adapted, too, for summer planting. Sow in a tempera- 

 ture of 50 or 60 degrees, from January to April, in shal- 

 low boxes, in light soil, merely pressing the seed into 

 it ami covering it with light leaf mould, or sifted moss. 

 Transplant into similar boxes as soon as the tiny 

 plants can be handled, and when i-trong enough put 

 outside in May. For winter and spring blooming sow 

 from August to September.
