Boddington's Novelty Begonias 



Begonia Worthiana 



This is a dwarf variety of the Begonia Boliiii. 

 excellent and very free-Hovvering, which we sent out 

 last year. It is a continuous bloomer, and the bril- 

 liant red flowers are borne in great profusion. It will 

 make an e.xcellent bedding variety, and will also be 

 found very useful as an edging for the large-flowered 

 tuberous kinds, or, for that matter, for any beds of 

 summer-flowering plants, and in time will supersede 

 the Vernon and other varieties of that type. 20 cts. 

 each, $2 per doz., $12 per 100. 



Abondance de Boissy 



A grand single-flowered variety ; flowers a very deep 

 scarlet, borne in great profusion ; an excellent variety 

 for bedding and all purposes Plants grow very dwarf, 

 are erect and of grand constitution. 25 cts. each, $2.50 

 per doz., $15 per 100. 



Begonia erecta cristata 



This curious strain of Begonia has single flowers, of 

 a good size, bearing on each petal a dense crest or 

 beard, composed of curiously twisted threads, which 

 gives the flower a gay and puzzling aspect. A very in 

 teresting type, and sure to be sought after becoming 

 known. Mixed, all colors from pure white to deep 

 crimson. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz, $15 per 100.

THE HYBRID TUBEROUS BEGONIAS, DUKE ZEPPLIN AND LAFAYETTE 



These two new double Hybrid Tuberous-rooted Begonias are both of unusual merit, and in color, when grown either as pot-plants or 

 planted in partially shady positions, are an intense scarlet, rivaling the Salvia sple?idens and flowering continually the whole summer. 

 Both varieties are of dwarf habit, reaching a height of only about 10 to 12 inches ; very sturdy. They are continuous bloomers, sending up 



their numerous spikes of flowers well above the foliage from June till late fall, 

 when frost overtakes them.
