Tuberous-rooted Begonias. 
( See outside cover of this Catalogue .) 
We have much pleasure in offering tubers of our grand strain of Tuberous-rooted hybrid Begonias, which have been grown and selected 
at our Nurseries during the past season, and which for form, size and substance of flower, and beauty and variety of colouring will be 
found second to none in the country. The individual blooms of many of the single-flowered varieties are of immense size— often measuring 
tour to five inches across— of splendid form and substance, and the colours range from the most intense dark crimson through all tho shades 
of scarlet, salmon, cerise, and yellow to the purest white, the plants being of a fine, dwarf, sturdy habit of growth. They will be found 
splendid tor pot culture and for bedding out; much superior to Geraniums, as they continue in full bloom through the wottest season 
and late into the autumn, when Geraniums have but a poor appearance. The double-flowered also include some magnificent flowers in an 
equal variety of colouring to the single. These, although not so showy and useful for bedding out as the single-flowered, are superb for 
pot culture in the greenhouse.
