J<egonia T>uke Zeppelin* ^ 



This is undoubtedly tJie most 

 fi,orp;oous summer HoweriiiR- tuberous 

 plant (i5eM'0)iiii) ever produced, a,nd 

 elicits exclamations of dolig-lit from 

 every one who lias the g-ood fortune 

 to see a mass of plants blooniinji,' out 

 of doors from May until October. 

 The waxy, glowing scarlet flowers 

 MS double as Camellias, completely 

 hide the foliap:efrom view, so that 

 at a distance only a solid mass of 

 bloom can be seen. It stands the 

 sun better th<an any Befz,-onia, and 

 cannot fail to become a standar-d 

 bedding- plant, and blooms also well 

 in winter. Strong bulbs.

Grandiflora Erecta Cristata. 

 (Bearded Begonia.) The remarka- 

 ble feature is that on each petal a 

 miniature forest has grown, com- 

 posed 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. Prices of Bulbs, 25c. each; 5 for SI.

^iT^cT^^ ArUiryi£>rtc^<: All of a Budden these have 



#we<zy Ji.cmmenes» become exceedingly popular, 

 and no wonder. The grand photos published in 

 several journals prove plainly what wonderful specimens 

 they form in a few months from a few small plants 

 started in pots or baskets. The shades of colors are' 

 innumerable in their combinations, and the markings 

 and spottings bewildering. Really they are so grand 

 and so easy to grow that we recommend them. Late in 

 lall when done blooming you will find lots of little bulb- 

 lets Keep these in sand or soil over winter to start 

 again in early spring. The colors comprise white, blue, 

 scarlet, sky-blue and spotted. Mixed varieties, all 

 colors, 3c. each; 5 for 13c.; 10 for 30c.
