Tuberous Rooted Begonias 



LTHOUGH these have been very popular in En^hind and 

 other European countries for several years, they are prac- 

 tically unknown in American gardens. Most of those u:ro\\"n 

 here have been raised in greenhouses and conservatories, or 

 as pot plants for the house or porch. Our bulbs are grown 

 outside, under a lath shade. 



The varieties we ofter are especially adapted to the open ground in your 

 garden, where they will bloom from early July until frost. They are very 

 easily grown, demanding only full shade and a loose soil made rich with 

 leaf-mold, well rotted cow manure, or peat moss. The bulbs resemble a 

 gladiolus somewhat in shape and size, and must be dug before heavy frosts 

 occur, stored in a cool, dry, frost-proof place during the winter, and then 

 planted out in April or early May. Plant very shallow, a half inch or 

 perhaps an inch deep. 



Try a few in your garden next season. Ordered now, they will be delivered 

 to you at the proper planting time with full directions. You will be thrilled 

 with their gorgeous blossoms, in shades of red, pink, orange, peach, yellow 

 and apricot.
