REX BEGONIAS 
This class of Begonias is grown exclusively for the great beauty of their foliage, which is very large and 
beautifully variegated a peculiar silvery-metallic gloss. They dislike our dry, bright sunshine, and thrive best 
In a rather shady, warm and moist situation. We grow the most beautiful and desirable Rex Begonias In cul- 
tivation. Price, 10 cents, except where noted. ' 
COUNTESS LOUISE EEDODY 
The leaf has a metallic luster, dark-silvery in the 
center; shading to coppery-rose toward the margin. 
The striking peculiarity which distinguishes it from 
all other Begonias consists in the fact that the two 
lobes at the base of the leaf do not grow side by side, 
but one of them winds in a spiral-like way until in a 
full grown leaf there are four of these twists lying on 
top of the leaf nearly two inches high. Price, 15 
cents each. 
LESOUDSII 
This is the finest and largest of any of the Rex 
family, li Ir impossible to deseribe in words the beau- 
tiful markings of this magnificent Begonia. It is a 
cross between Begonia Diadema and a Rex variety, 
but retains in a marked degree the Rex character. We 
consider this the finest of all the Rex family, both in 
size of leaf and rich coloring.

red pile. The center of leaf is dark, with a band of
