Begonia Rex. 
BEGONIA REX. 
This class of Begonia is grown for 
their remarkable and richly colored 
foliage and are very effective as pot 
plants for the house. Care should be 
taken to keep the foliage free from 
dust and while benefitted by an occa- 
sional showering, should never be ex- 
posed to the sun while the foliage is 
wet. We have a collection of many 
new and old varieties. 
Strong plants from 2 1 / £ inch pots, 15 ets. each. 
Large plants from 25 cts. to $1 00 each. 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS. 
i his beautiful class cf Begonia is 
perhaps the finest of all summer 
Cowering bulbs. They are each year 
be coming more popular, as they are 
of the easiest culture, and constant 
and prolific bloomers. They delight 
in a rich mellow and well drained 
soil and do best in a situation where 
they do not get the strong mid-day 
eun. They are admirably adapted to 
planting in window and piazza box- 
es on the north side of houses where 
Geraniums and other sun-loving 
plants would not do well. Nothing 
can exceed the brilliancy and rich- 
ness of their flowers, many of which 
are 4 inches across. The tubers can 
be kept over winter in a dry cool 
Place, and started again in the 
spring:.
