Begonia Vernon. 
One of the most satisfactory pot 
plants for the house, and a popular 
bedding plant for the garden or lawn. 
It blooms with the greatest profusion 
throughout the summer. Flowers a 
brilliant orange-carmine with bright 
yellow centers, and the foliage waxy 
and glossy. It is easily raised from 
seed, and comes absolutely true. Valu¬ 
able for bedding and general culture. 
Pkt., 300 seeds, 5 cts. 
Rex Begonias— There are no prettier 
foliage plants than the Rex Begonias. 
They need a warm, moist atmosphere 
and a north window. Pot them in leaf 
mould with a sprinkling of sand, also 
some charcoal in the bottom of the pot. 
They will repay with their lovely 
foliage for all the care given them. 
They do not need sunshine. 
Begonia Rex. 
Beautiful foliage, justly celebrated 
as the finest of ornamental pot plants, 
superb large leaves, of exquisite and 
rich coloring. Pkt., SO seeds, 15 cts. 
Mrs. Allen Y. Boggs, South Hope, Me., March 2, ’09. 
My Dorothy Perkins Rose I got from you is just beau¬ 
tiful; it makes a wonderful growth in a year. 
Defiance Balsam, 
Lady Slipper. 
The most perfect in form and 
largest double-flowered Balsam yet 
developed, and by careful growth 
and selection, has attained a stand¬ 
ard that will be found hard to im¬ 
prove. The mixture which I offer is 
composed, in nearly equal propor¬ 
tions, of eight colors: rose, rose- 
white spotted, pink, scarlet, white- 
tinted violet, white spotted, scarlet 
white spotted and purple; each 
having been grown separately. 
Pkt., 75 seeds, 5 cts. 
Balsam, Good Mixed. 
A splendid strain, good colors 
and large double flowers; not equal 
to “Defiance,” but gives good 
satisfaction. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5 cts. 
Balsam Apple. 
A beautiful climbing plant with 
apple-shaped fruit, which, if pre¬ 
served in alcohol, make a most use¬ 
ful liniment. Pkt., 25 seeds, 5 cts.
