Single Tuberous— Rooted Begonias 
ITALIA CANNA 
BEGONIAS 
Tuberous-Rooted 
Varieties 
This grand flower is a rival to the Gloxinia* 
as a summer window or conservatory plant, 
and as strong a rival to the Geranium and 
Verbena as an outdoor bedding plant. The 
enormous size and intense brilliancy of the flowers astonish those who have never seen any but the ordi- 
nary house begonia. The bulbs can be started from March to June. They will succeed in any rich well- 
drained soil, and prefer a position where they will be protected from the direct rays of the sun during the 
hottest part of the day. They also make line pot plants for the conservatory or window garden They 
may be had in both single and double sorts in the following colors:
