Double Begonia 
\ Tuberous Begonias \ 
We have always taken great care in selecting 
the best strains of this grand summer-flowering 
plant by visiting Europe annually whilst they are 
in bloom, for the purpose of inspecting the crop, 
of which we have several acres grown, and we are 
safe in saying that no better or larger flowers, or 
truer to color and shade, can be had, no matter 
how much higher price is paid. 
Our bulbs are all large, measuring 114 inches and 
upward in diameter. We do not handle second 
size or small Begonia bulbs. 
For a time it was generally supposed these could 
not be grown in the open successfully, but exten¬ 
sive plantings of them in various sections of the 
country have demonstrated their adaptability for 
this purpose. Nothing can exceed the brilliancy 
and richness of their flowers. From the time the 
first blossom appears until all growth is stopped 
by frost they are never out of bloom. (See cut.)

NEW TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS 
New Single Frilled 
Not since the Tuberous-Rooted 
Begonia was introduced, has a 
novelty in Begonias of such 
sterling merit been disseminated 
as these New Single Frilled 'Tu¬ 
berous-Rooted varieties, com¬ 
posing all the colors possible in 
the Tuberous Begonia. A general 
description would not do them 
justice; they must be seen to be 
appreciated. They are of the 
finest types of the single Be¬ 
gonia, the petals being heavily 
frilled on the edges. (See cut.) 
All colors mixed, each 20c., 
doz. $1.75, 100 $12.00. 
Begonia Grandiflora Erecta Cristata (Novelty) 
A very charming variety of the single type, with the anthers beautifully 
crested , giving the flowers a very handsome and striking appearance.

Sirs: 
The Tuberous Begonias and Cannas that I purchased of you have 
done extremely well. In fact, the Cannas are the finest in the Townships 
of Rainham. Yours truly,
