lie* Begonia 
Rex 
Begonias 
This is a type of large leaved 
Begonias, and is the most 
ornamental of the species. 
They are grown exclusively 
for the rich and varied mark¬ 
ings and remarkable beauty 
of their foliage, some of 
which are truly marvelous.In 
no other class of plants are the 
rich metallic shades of var¬ 
ious colors found so satisfac¬ 
torily blended as in the Rex 
Begonia while the form and 
size of the leaves are of the 
variety. Some va- 
show bright green, 
silver, bronze and vel¬ 
vety green, while others 
have a distinct band or zone 
of bright, rosy plum color, 
and others a zone of light, 
dull red. 
Our stock of Rex consists 
of a number of the most 
beautiful varieties in cultiva¬ 
tion, including some of the 
choicest new sorts. When we 
receive an order for two or 
.nore Rex, we always send 
the most distinct varieties

BELICATISSI3IA—The plant is a neat, handsome grower, 
producing a great abundance of leafy vines, which cover the 
ground with their pretty foliage, and bear such an immense ro- 
fusion of lovely, clear pink flowers, that the whole bed seems a 
sheet of rosy bloom from early summer till late fall. The flowers 
are l>orne in elegant clusters, and hundreds and thousands of them 
are in bloom all the time.

W inttor 
BEACON—A splendid new red that blooms throughout a long season. Flowers are 
gracefully formed, and will average from 2 % to 3 inches in diameter. Color scarlet 
with a brightening dash of orange. 
HARLOWARDKN-The largest and best of its color; a bright dazzling crimson. 
Flowers often measure 3 inches in diameter, and are well supported on long, stiff stems. 
A wonderfully free bloomer, and always full of buds. 
JAMES WHITCOMB III LEY—This is the only pure yellow Carnation that is 
grown today. It is a variety easy to grow and ot healthy constitution; flowers average 
3 inches or more in diameter; have a very pleasing clove fragrance; borne on long, stiff 
stems. Even the professional growers, who are more or less partial to other commer¬ 
cial varieties, admit the great beauty of this distinctive novelty. 
3IAY BAY—A commercial carnation of an exquisite shade of satin pink; has a fine 
Btem, strong calyx, and is probably the freest bloomer extant, from 20 to 24 flowering 
shoots being found on each plant. One of the best keepers we have ever handled, of 
good average size, the brilliant color making up for any lack in this respect. 
ENCHANTRESS—This is truly a queen among Carnations on account of its large 
size, magnificent color, fine strong stem, and early, free and continuous blooming habit. 
The col * is a beautiful shade of light silvery pink, deepening toward the center. The 
flowers are enormous—three and a half to four inches in diameter. It does not burst 
the calyx at any season. It is an ideal grower, very healthy and of vigorous constitution. 
VICTORY r —Said to be the finest color of any Scarlet Carnation; flowers retain their 
color and brightness to the last and ^re borne on fine, long stems. 
WHITE ENCHANTRESS—The purest white sport from the variety "Enchant¬ 
ress.” xt is absolutely pure white in color. 
WHITE PERFECTION—Pure white blooms, 3 inches and over in diameter, beau¬ 
tifully fringed and delightfully fragrant. Free bloomer. 
WINSOK—This isa clear silvery pink, a shade between Enchantress and Mrs. Thos. 
W. Lawson, and jmuch more beautiful than either. In fact, it is just the shade we 
have all been trying to get. The stem is just right. The flowers are considerably 
larger than the Lawson and much better shaped. 
Price of Carnations, 15c. each, 3 for 40c., postpaid. 
FUCHSIAS 
BLACK PRINCE—This is without question the very finest single 
Fuchsia grown for the amateur to cultivate. It makes a shapely bush, 
is robust in growth, free from disease and insects, and is probably the 
freest in blooming. Blossoms of a beautiful waxy-carmine or pink 
color. Certainly a plant of easy culture. 
LITTLE BKAI'TY-A perfect gem; marvelously free-flowering 
single flowers lVj inches long; bright red tube and sepals; corolla 
rich purple. 
3IRS. E. G. HILL—One of the most perfect double Fuch- 
yet introduced. Tube and sepals brigh t reddish crimson, contrast¬ 
ing with the large, pure white corollas to a great advantage. A very 
bloomer. 
PHENOMENAL—The largest double Fuchsia we have yet seen 
The tube and sepals are bright^ coral-red, beautifully formed. The 
corolla, nearly two and one-half inches across, is of the very richest 
violet shades. The habit is remarkably free, and it blooms more freely 
than any other large variety. 
SPECIOSA—A genuine ever-bloomer. Elegantly shaped and of 
good substance. Orange scarlet corolla and white sepals; calyx 
rose-carmine. One of the best in cultivation.
