Tuberous Begonias 
See Color Plate on Page 50 
Single and Double in Many Colors 
For The Garden or Window Boxes 
About Half 
Aetual Size. 
Many Pleasing 
Shades. 
All good, blooming size bulbs, big and vigorous enough to give you excellent 
results. We do not guarantee definite shades as they vary in color. 
If you long for a beautifully colored flower 
which Is different from any other class. Tuberous 
Eooted Begonias will please you. There are two 
classes—singles which often grow six inches or 
more across and doubles up to five inches. 
The rich, velvety, crinkled foliage is prettier than 
any other begonia. They do beat when direct sun does 
not hit them from ten to three in mid-summer. But 
they should not be grown in total shade. Colors are 
variations in pink, yellow, orange, red, crimson and 
white. You will seldom find two of exactly the same 
shade if you plant a hundred bulbs so the more you 
plant the more interesting they become. 
LONG LIFE 
Every year, customers tell us of having kept their 
Begonia bulbs for many years by digging them in the 
fall and storing them in fruit or potato cellars. 
EASY TO GROW 
Tuberous Begonias are easy for the home gardener 
to handle and florists make big money in growing them. 
I start mine in shallow boxes of soil m the house about 
a month before time to set them out in the garden. 
This permits about three leaves to get fully formed by 
the time danger from frost has passed. I should hate 
to have to do without Tuberous Begonias and I know 
you will feel the same way after you have tried them. 
You can plant them in the garden or in porch and win¬ 
dow boxes.

The texture of the petals is not like any other Begonia 
flower, waxy, yet looks like velvet.

Dazzling Cannas 
See Color Plate Page 50 
What could be more charming than a nice bed of Cannas against a green 
lawn? These stately, dazzling colored, giant flowers, are so inexpensive that you 
can afford all you have room for. The luxuriant foliage would be worth the effort 
even If they bore no flowers. But they do bear flowers in profusion from July 
until frost. Perhaps it is the tropical effect which makes them such great fa¬ 
vorites. 
You can make very pleasing combinations by planting two or more varieties in a single 
bed. For example try eight of the orange-scarlet King Humbert, and eight of the rich 
golden-yellow Queen Helen’s in a bed of about 36 square feet. 
Easy to grow in any garden soil. Work the soil up well and keep them watered. Plant 
about 12 inches to 18 inches apart to allow plenty of room. We give you average height of 
each variety, color of flower and color of foliage. With this information, you can work out 
a color scheme which will suit your individual taste. Order your Canna Roots early so you 
can start them indoors for later transplanting.

Cannas are fine for shielding unsightly house foundations, fences,
