THE RUBRA BEGONIA. 



No prettier or more ornamental display 

 of plants for wintea decoration can be 

 found than a collection of begonias. 



Such a collection affords great variety 

 of foliage, and its pleasing effect excites 

 admiration. But of all the begonias with 

 which I have had experience or have seen, 

 my favorite is the rubra. Its dark green 

 leaves and clusters of red flowers are 

 prettily contrasted. This begonia is well 

 known and it is hardly necessars' to give 

 a description of its appearance; but, per- 

 haps all may not know the full extent of 

 its beauty if they have not kept it for 

 several years at a time. 



We, in our home, have had large plants 

 that have afforded great pleasure, both in 

 summer and winter. 



Vrhen transplanted to beds in the 3'ard 

 in the summer, they flourish best and 

 grow to be strong and vigorous; but it is 

 always necessary to tie them firmly to a 

 stake driven in the ground securely in 

 order that the v.-ind may not break them. 



We would advise all who love flowers 

 and admire ornamental foliage to try the 

 rubra begonia this winter.

LILIUM AURATUM VATTATUM RUB- 

 RUM. 



About the first of November of last year 

 I purchased a lilium auratum vattatum 

 rubrum. I planted it in the center of a 

 circular bed — ^the bed being highest in the 

 center, and partially shaded by large 

 trees. I dug a hole a foot deep and filled 

 in several inches of good soil, composed 

 of leaf mould, well rotted manure and 

 garden soil; all thoroughly mixed, and 

 on that a light covering of sand on which 

 I placed the bulb — about 8 inches deep. 

 I covered the bulb with a thin layer of 

 sand and filled up with the prepared soil. 

 I added a top dressing of well decayed 

 manure, over which I placed a few boards. 



In April I removed the boards, and 

 soon two £;reen shoots appeared, v/hich
