Begonia Roots for Bedding and Pot Culture - 
The popularity and adaptability of the Begonia for Bedding purposes has led to its largely increased 
cultivation. During the summer beds of Begonias withstand the heavy showers and weather far better than 
Geraniums or Verbenas, and last far longer in flower. We are offering a very beautiful collection of both 
single and double kinds, in separate shades of colour, at prices really less than the cost of ordinary bedding 
plants. We strongly recommend their more extended use for out-door culture.
