Boddington'^s Novelty Begonias 



Begonia 'Washington 



This variety is similar to the Lafayette and Duke 

 Zepphn types and was seen by our representative 

 while in Europe ttiis season. The great advance is in 

 its exceedingly dwarf habit and great profusion of crim- 

 son-scarlet blossoms. For bedding purposes it is un- 

 equaled. Price, 60 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100.

 Begonias 



These are a remarkable strain of Begonias, ranging 

 in all colors — salmon, pink, white, yellow, copper 

 and scarlet ; the size of the flowers is [equal to the 

 large singles, with the difference that the petals are of 

 great substance and carry on the upper side a crested- 

 /o) tned cockscomb, making the flowers specially attrac- 

 tive. Price, separate colors or mixed, 20 cts. each, 

 S2 per doz., $16 per 100.

 cellent and very free-flowering, which we sent out last 

 year. It is a continuous bloomer, and the brilliant red 

 flowers are borne in great profusion. It will make an 



excellent bedding variet)', and will also be found very useful for edging, and in time wi 

 flore?!s varieties. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $12 per 100. 



Boddmgton^s Beautiful Butterfly Begonias 



BEGONIA HYBRIDS, "THE BUTTERFLY" 



This Begonia is a "sport" from Btgonia erecta picta marn/ora/a and a great improvement upon it. The flowers are larger, and the 

 white mottlings are more profuse, giving to blooms a charming and unique appearance. Mixed, all colors, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.. $12 

 per 100. 



THE HYBRID TUBEROUS BEGONIAS, DUKE ZEPPLIN AND LAFAYETTE 



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

 planted in partially shaded positions, are an intense scarlet, rivaling the Sah'ia splendens and flowering continually the whole summer. 

 Both varieties are of the dwarf habit, reaching a height of only about lo to i2 inches; very sturdy. They are continuous bloomers, sending 



up their numerous sjiikes of flowers well above tlie foliage from June till late 

 fall, when frost overtakes them.
