BEGONIA PLANTS FOR LATE PLANTING. We can supply 
plants in pots. These will be found of the greatest value to those 
who plant their gardens late in June. See page 96. 
NOTE. If the soil for Begonias is given special attention by incorpo- 
rating coarse sand and plenty of Florida Humus with the existing garden soil, 
a true perfection of bloom will be attained. See page 118. 
Montbretia 
First-class border plants of the greatest value for cutting. 
The erect, branching flower-stems are 18 to 24 inches high and 
bear innumerable, hanging, star-shaped bells in shades of yellow, 
orange, scarlet, and crimson. Bulbs should be started early in 
pots or pans and transferred to the garden when the ground is 
warm. In protected situations they are hardy and will live over 
Winter with light covering. Doz 100
