Giant Tree Begonia. 
This superb tuberous Begonia 
is unknown in this country. It 
soon attains a height of two feet, 
forming a fine erect, strong¬ 
stemmed bush with shining 
green foliage edged with bright 
red. It produces innumerable 
very large, faintly sweet-scented 
flowers of very delicate bright 
rose, set off with golden stamens. 
20c. each ; 3 for 50c. 
Begonia Duke Zeppelin This is und °ut>tediy the most 
i1 ° . , rr gorgeous summer flowering 
tuberous plant ever produced, and elicits exclamations of delight from 
every one who has the good fortune to see a mass of plants blooming 
out of doors from May until October. The waxy, glowing scarlet flow¬ 
ers, as double as Camellias, com¬ 
pletely hide the foliage from view, 
so that at a distance only a solid 
mass of bloom can be seen. It 
stands the sun better than any 
Begonia, and blooms also well in 
winter. Strong bulbs. 
15c. each; 4 for 50c. 
Begonia. 
Grandiflora 
Erecta Cristata. 
(Bearded Begonia.) The remark¬ 
able feature is .that on each petal 
a miniature forest has grown, 
composed of curiously twisted 
threads, forming near the center 
of the flower a dense crest or 
beard, giving the flower a very 
gay and puzzling aspect. Very 
ornamental and highly interesting.

in diameter, with beautifully frilled 
and wavy petals, not unlike the 
finest single Petunias.
