T^egonia Duke Zeppelin, ^ 



^"^ This IS iindoubtedly the most 

 gorgeous summer tiowering tuberous 

 plant (BeRouia) ever produced, and 

 elicits exclamations of delight from 

 every one who lias the good fortune 

 to see a mass of ])lant8 blooming out 

 of doors from May until October. The 

 waxy, glowing scarlet flowers, as 

 double as Camellias, completely hide 

 the foliage from view, so tiiatata dis- 

 tance only a solid mass of bloom can 

 be seen. It stands the sun better than 

 any Begonia, aud cannot fail to be- 

 come a sta.nda,rd bedding plant, and 

 blooms also; well in •winter. Strong 

 Bulbs. 35c. f Hfh; 5 f..r !«il.

D.^^^«/^ it *l ^ (Bearded Begonia.) The remarkable 



r^egonta, ^ tp- ^ feature is that on nach ])ctal a minia- 



Grandiflopa Erecta Cristata. ture forest has grown, composed 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, 35c. each; 5for 8fil, 



Bouquet of Mixed Acbimenes. 



Ti r^. A^U'^^.^^^ -'^11 "^'f i^ sudden these have 



Mecw Achtmenes, v.^con.e exceedingly popular, 



'and no wonder. The grand ]ihotos j)ublished in 

 sf'veral journals prove plainly what wonderful specimens 

 tliey form ia a few months from a. few small ])lants 

 started in pots or baskets. The shades of colors are 

 innumerable in their combinations, and the markings 

 and spq^tings bewildering. Eeally they are so grand 

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

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

 lets. Keep these in sand or soil over winter 1o start 

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

 scarlet, sky-blue and spotted. Mixe<l varieties, all 

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

 white, nankeen, yellow, etc. Bulbs, 1 So. each; 4 for 50c.
