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 noother class of plants are 
the rich metalic shades of var¬ 
ious colors found so satisfac¬ 
torily blended as in the Rex 
Begonia while the form and 
ize of the leaves are of the 
greatest 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 
more Rex, we always send 
the most distinct varieties. 
Price, 15c. each, 3 for 40c.

good substance. Orange scarlet corolla and white sepals; calyx 
rose-carmine. One of the best in cultivation.

NEW WEEPING LANTANA—DEUCATISSIMA

dance of leafy vines, which cover the ground with their pretty 
foliage, and bear such an immense profusion of lovely, clear pink 
flowers, that the whole bed seems a sheet of rosy bloom from 
early summer till late fall. The flowers are borne in elegant clust¬ 
ers, and hundreds and thousands of them are in bloom all the time.
