in April, where they are intended to flower. They 
should be covered by about 'one-and-a-half inches 
of soil. 
The plants should have a mulching of peat or 
rotten manure placed on at once, and be well water¬ 
ed twice a week in hot, dry weather, when the plants 
will continue to bloom from about the middle of 
July till they are cut down by frost, when the 
tubers should be lifted and gradually dried off in 
any airy frost-proof shed, or out of doors, so long 
as they are kept from the frost, and as the stems 
drop away and the tubers become ripened off, they 
may be stored away in boxes of dry soil till wanted 
in the following spring. 
Top dressing every two weeks with bone flour 
at rate of 1 pound per 10 square feet is very bene¬ 
ficial to continue bloom.

frilled, give the flowers a charm not possessed by 
the smooth petalled varieties. In great range of 
colors. 
CRESTED SINGLE BEGONIAS 
A very interesting type of Begonias, the crested 
growth on each of the four petals giving them a 
curious and rather fantastic appearance, and being 
often of a different tint to the ground colour of the 
flower, produces many beautiful and varied combin¬ 
ations of colour. 
SINGLE BEGONIAS 
We have a very fine selection of these, the 
quality of the flower and habit of plant being care¬ 
fully considered whilst the plants were in bloom, 
when they were marked in their various classes and
