TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS 
We have an extra fine strain of these lovely flowers to offer. 
The colors are simply wonderful and impossible to adequately de- 
scribe; they come in all shades. The formation of the flowers is 
also quite distinct, some are large and very double; the singles are 
beautiful; some have plain edges, some fimbriated, some fluted and 
others crested. 
CULTURE— The bulbs should be started in damp moss in 
March and April; when they have made a small growth they should 
be potted into four-inch pots, using open soil, plentifully supplied 
with leaf-mould, sand and rich manure (the Begonia is a great 
feeder). When the plants have been growing in these pots for four 
or five weeks, the roots will begin to fill the pot; they must then be 
shifted into a six-inch pot, using the same preparation for potting 
and then can be allowed to bloom in these pots, or you can move 
them into a larger pot if you so desire; six-inch pot plants will, how- 
ever, give very good satisfaction. They require a sunny place in the 
greenhouse and see that they have good drainage. When they com- 
mence to bloom, the two small flowers that appear on each side of 
the center blossom (which is the male flower and the outside flowers 
are the female") are nipped out and the strength goes to the male 
flower. They will bloom for a long time; we have had them bloom 
for four months at our nurseries. They are a continual source of 
great pleasure; we know of no flower that will give greater satisfac- 
tion than the Tuberous Rooted Begonia. The above instructions apply 
to pot culture. 
The Tuberous Rooted Begonia can also be, and is much used for 
bedding purposes and gives the very best of satisfaction. A partially 
shaded place should be selected for this purpose.

SCARLET, CANARY-YELLOW. STRAW COLOR BRONZE 
BUFF, APRICOT, TAN, TERRA COTTA, SALMON, PINK
