1917 Contribution 
to 
American Gardens 
It was our good fortune recently to 
receive from Ghent, Belgium, the largest 
export shipment of Quality Begonia 
Bulbs since the beginning of the war. 
The bulbs arrived in record time in ex- 
ceptionally fine condition and are as fine 
a lot as Belgium ever grew. 
Tuberous Rooted 
Begonias 
Summer Blooming 
make equally ideal garden or pot plants. Planted 
in beds or borders outdoors, their large single or 
double flowers make a magnificent showing. 
They enjoy partial shade. As pot plants, two or 
more tubers in a 6-inch pot will make a great show 
throughout the summer and fall. Foliage is 
highly ornamental. In red, white, rose, yellow and 
orange color , in both single and double shape.
