CARNATIONS 
FUCHSIAS 
1 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. 
TATTLE BEAUTY—A perfect gem; marvelously free-flowering, 
single flowers IVt inches long; bright red tube and sepals; corolla 
rich purple. 
MRS. E. G. HILL-One of the most perfect double Fuch¬ 
sias yet introduced. Tube and sepals bright reddish crimson, contrast¬ 
ing with the large, pure white corollas to a great advantage. A very 
free bloomer. 
PHENOMENAL—The largest double Fuchsia we have yet seen. 
fh3 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. 
Price of any Fuchsia, 13c. each; 3 for 30c., postpaid.

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 tho form and 
size of the leaves are of the 
greatest variety. Some va- 
ieties show bright green, 
>ure 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.
