BEGONIA, (Tuberous Rooted.) 



A comparatively new section of this beautiful tribe; 

 flowers ranging through all the shades of crimson, scarlet, 

 rose, orange, &c. They require the same treatment as the 

 fancy-leaved Caladiums, Gloxinias, ifcc. ; that is, the tubers 

 are dried off in winter and started again in spring. Excel- 

 lent for bedding purposes, as they bloom the entire sum- 

 mer season until frost. Our illustration on page 31 shows 

 a few of the types of this grand plant. 

 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



BEGONIA RUBRA. 



Is one of the finest acquisitions to our winter flowering 

 plants; the leaves are of the darkest green, the color of 

 the flowers scarlet rose, glossy and wax-like. This pecu- 

 liarity is so marked, that when plants are placed singly in 

 a room the glossy appearance of the leaves and flowers 

 gives the impression that they are artificial rather than 



naiural.
