Summer Flowering Bulbs — Continued 



Dreer's Superb Tuberous-rooted Begonias 



This charming class of Begonias is perhaps the handsomest of all summer-flowering, tuberous-rooted plants, and deserves even 

 greater popularity. Improvements made in recent years in size, texture and coloring, are really phenomenal with flowers frequently 

 measuring from 4 to 6 inches across, and colors ranging from the purest white and the most delicate tints of pink, yellow and salmon 

 to the most intense and richest crimson. Particularly useful for planting in porch or window boxes in a semi-shady position, also for 

 outdoor planting in partially shaded positions, where if they are planted in well drained light soil they will produce more bloom than 

 any other plants that can be grown in such a place.

A wonderfully improved strain with flowers of immense size with 

 beautifully frilled, wavy petals, not unlike tne finest fringed ruffled 

 Petunias.

 charming undulations. Unique and beautiful.
