Begonia SemiDerflorens Gigantca "Rosea. 
A superb variety, not new, 
but very scarce, and well de- 
serving special mention, A 
strong, upright grower, bear- 
ing gigantic trusses of a clear 
cardinal red, the bud only ex- 
>:ceded in beauty by the open 
ilower, which is borne on a 
strong thick stem. The 
leaves are smooth and glossy 
and attached closely to the 
main stem, quite upright, 
growing and forming a 
shrubby round plant. Price, 
cents each. 
Amf&elopsis 
Bnglemanni. 
This plant was discovered 
by the world-renowned col- 
lector, Dr. Knglemnan, from 
which the present stock has 
been propagated, and is now 
for the first time offered for 
BEGONIA, SEMPERFLOREXS GiG.vNTEA ROSEA. sale. It has the vigorous and 
hardy characteristics of the American woodbine, with beautiful glossy foliage, 
laciniated in fives and sometimes sixes. But it is quite distinct in having the cling- 
ing tendrils and self-supporting habit of A. Vcitchi. In this respect, and also in 
brilliancy of coloring in the fall, it will rival the so-called "Boston Ivy;" and as 
the young plants are much more hardy and vigorous, and the foliage and growth 
arc decidedly more graceful, it will undoubtedly become a great favorite as soon at* 
it is known. This elegant climber has been fully tested in this climate and found 
to be perfectly hardy. Price, ist size, $i ; 2d size, 50c.

each.
