BALSAM (Apple) (Pear) 
Apple—10 ft. A very ornamental and quifck growing 
climber. While it has a flower, it is grown mostly for 
the effect of the fruit which follows. This is yellow, 
looks not unlike an apple—hence its name. When ripe 
it opens and shows the seeds and blood-red interior. 
Per pkt. 10c 
Pear—like above, only the fruit is pear-shaped. 
Per pkt. 10c 
Balsam—Apple and Pear mixed. Per pkt. 5c. 
BARTONIA 
Aurea—12 in. One of the most showy of annuals, 
excellent both for beds and borders; producing showy, 
golden-yellow flowers. The foliage is gray and thistle¬ 
like, and is exceedingly brilliant in the sunshine. It 
will not stand transplanting, so should be sown where 
intended to bloom. Sow in the open ground early in 
May. Blooms through summer and fall. Per pkt. 10c 
BEAN (Runner) 
Scarlet Runner—Largely grown as an ornamental 
for its attractive flower clusters. The young shelled 
beans are quite palatable and serve the same purpose 
as shelled Limas. Pkt. 10c. 
BEGONIAS—TUBEROUS ROOTED 
These are not so hard to grow to perfection if you 
prepare your soil before planting the bulbs. They 
prefer a rich soil with a liberal quantity of Peat or 
leaf mold. This should be thoroughly dug in and 
incorporated with the soil. If your soil is not rich add 
some Bone Meal at the same time. Plant them about 
one foot apart and the bulb about one inch deep. Do 
not water them until the leaves appear, at no time 
when in growth should they be allowed to become dry. 
The bulbs that we are offering this season are grown 
by a specialist in Oregon and we believe far superior 
to those that are grown in the warmer climate. We 
are only offering them in mixed colors. When we last 
saw them they were a wonder to look at. We believe 
they will please you as much as they did us. 
30c each or $3.00 per dozen, postpaid 
The trailing tuberous Begonia is a recent introduc¬ 
tion and it is a profuse bloomer in all shades except 
blue. (Price same.) 
Plants for shady or half shady places are not many. 
The tuberous Begonia is a welcome acquisition, as it 
blooms the entire season, till the frost kills it. The 
tubers should be dug and kept dry in a basement free 
of frost till next spring, when it is planted again.
