BEGONIAS, TUBEROUS-ROOTED 
These plants grow from hard, crooked bulbs, like flat potatoes, 
hollowed on one side. In planting, be sure that the hollow side 
is up. They make strong, fleshy stems a foot or more high, with 
big, bristly, very beautiful leaves, crowned by flowers of enormous 
size and almost unbelievable brilliance. Blooms 4K to 5 inches 
across are not unusual. They should be started in pots or pans 
indoors in February or March, and transplanted to the garden 
about the time that corn is growing well. They may also be 
started outdoors at the same time but will bloom later. Separate 
colors: Single varieties, white, scarlet, pink, or yellow 
flowers; Double varieties, red, salmon, rose, or orange 
flowers. All varieties, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $16 per 100. 
Lilium auratum 
Lilium regale 
GLOXINIA 
Beautiful velvety flowers of trumpet shape produced by 
tender, tropical bulbs which may be grown in pots or greenhouse 
benches. The large foliage is covered with plush-like hairs, and 
should not be wet. Keep them warm at all times. The flowers are 
violet, rose, crimson, white, or beautifully mottled. 
Mixed colors. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 per 1 00. 
Caladium esculentum (Elephant’s Ear) 
For imposing masses of tropical foliage there is nothing so 
effective or so easily grown as the Elephant’s Ear. The plants 
grow from 3 to 5 feet high, with enormous bright green leaves, 
veined with lighter green, broad and thick and bearing a decided 
resemblance to elephant’s ears, whence the popular name. They 
thrive best in a moist, rich soil but can be grown in almost any 
situation. Plant the bulbs late in May, after all danger from frost 
is past, spacing them 2 to 4 feet apart and covering them a few 
inches deep. The larger the bulb, the larger the plant and the 
more space required. If extra-large plants are desired, start the 
bulbs indoors in pots or large boxes, in March or early April, 
and transplant to the open about June 1. Give plenty of water 
throughout the season; liquid manure is very beneficial. The 
bulbs may be carried over winter by digging them up after frost 
has killed the leaves, drying them in the sun, and then storing 
in boxes with sand or dry soil in a frost-proof cellar.
