Single Tuberous Begonias . 
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 1 ^ 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 extensive 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.) 
The Tuberous Begonias and Gloxinias from bulbs purchased from 
your firm are the best in every respect I ever grew.

THE GLOXINIA is coming more 
into favor each year, it being one of the 
most attractive of pot plants and simple to 
grow. In late years they have been much 
improved by selection. 
Our strain is of the most improved and 
latest named introductions, and can be 
depended upon producing large, handsome 
and distinctly marked flowers, growing well 
above the foliage and will suit the most 
critical trade.
