REX BEGONIA LOUISE CHRETIEN. 
REX BEGONIAS, continued, 
low ratts. No plants succeeds better, nor 
makes a more attractive parlor ornament 
than this class of Begonias. 
Adolph Pollock. A very striking and 
handsome variety. Center and edge of 
leaves plum-green, spattered with white. 
A broad zone of silvery white encircles 
the middle of the leaf. 20 cts. each. 
Due de Brabant. One of the finest of 
the family. Center of leaf and edge plum- 
green, with broad zone of silver, shading 
into bright green. 20 cts. each. 
Louise Closson. New. To describe this 
beauty seems almost impossible. It is 
simply exquisite. The leaves are medium 
in size, when young are very brilliant ; 
zoned with rosy violet, with shades of 
bronze maroon, having the general ap- 
earance of Louise Chretien, yet more 
eautiful, if indeed that is possible. 25c. 
Louise Chretien. Although not quite 
new, this superb variety has actually no 
equal in its family, so that it is still en- 
titled to a foremost place in a list of 
novelties. The beautiful coloring of its 
foliage is almost indescribable, but when 
we say that it is like changeable silk in its 
luster we may be understood. Flowers 
large and of a delicate rose tint. 20 cts. ea. 
Countess Louise Erdody. Thepecu- 
liar feature of this new variety is the cu- 
rious spiral formation of the leaf. But 
aside from this interesting point, this 
variety' has much to commend it. Its 
foliage is beautifully marked and shaded 
with silvery gray and coppery rose, the 
veins being a yellowish green. 25 cts. ea. 
Madam Siebold. A strong-growing 
very ornamental variety. The leaves are 
extraordinarily large, zinc colored, marked 
with small green spots, and edged 
with a beautiful tinge of purple. 25c. ea. 
The set of 6 for $1.
