Tuberous-Rooted Begonia 



These splendid flowers are always a feature in English gardens 

 and it is only because they are so little known that they are not 

 used more in America. Plants are of vigorous, bushy growth, 

 12 to 15 inches high, and bear huge flowers (sometimes 3 and 

 4 inches across) of the same waxy texture as the small Begonias. 

 Colors range through yellow and pink to red. They may be used 

 either as pot plants or for half-shaded beds, and should be planted 

 in rich soil that can be kept well watered. Start indoors in March 

 and April, and transplant outdoors in May.

 per doz. 



Hybrid Amaryllis 



One of the most satisfactory and beautiful house plants. Bulbs 

 are available from November until the end of March. Plant 

 about half their depth in good soil in comparatively small pots. 

 Place in a sunny window and water sparingly until growth starts 

 and then daily. Each bulb will bear one or two spikes of lily 

 shaped blooms. Plant the bulb in the garden during the sum- 

 mer months to regain its strength. Large, 75c each; mammoth, 

 $1.00 each. 



Hardy Lilies 



The three Hardy Lilies listed make roots not only at the base 

 of the bulbs, but also along the stems, and for . this reason they 

 should be planted among other plants or mulched with about 

 three inches of Florida Humus or grass cuttings during the sum- 

 mer to protect the roots from the direct rays of the sun. Cover 

 the bulbs about three times their greatest diameter, placing a 

 quantity of sand at the base of the bulb to insure good drainage. 

 Auratum. Rowers ivory-white, striped with a band of golden 



yellow and spotted crimson. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.

spotted with crimson. Very hardy. 50c each; $5.00 per doz. 



Tuberous-Rooted Begonia 



Canna 



Brilliant Cannas 



Due to great improvements made in recent years, Cannas have 

 become very popular for large beds and mixed borders. The foliage 

 is quite ornamental and the blooms make a mass of color from July 

 until frost. 



Start the roots indoors in pots in early March and plant in their 

 permanent position about the middle of May; or the roots may be 

 planted in the place where they are to bloom in early May. Set 

 plants 1 Yi to 2 feet apart in a sunny location. The heights, as 

 stated, will vary according to richness of the soil and location. 



Dig roots after the first killing frost, cut the foliage, and store 

 in a cool, dry place over winter.
