TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIA 
For Single and Double Varieties—Price 25c each, 6 for $1.25 
The Tuberous-rooted Begonia is the fashionable plant of the day, for in addition to very handsome foliage, 
it bears a never-ending profusion of the most ravishingly beautiful flowers the whole summer, and then with 
the coming of cold weather, very oblingingly takes a nap until spring, asking no further care through the winter 
than to be packed in soil away from frost. The enormous size and intense brilliancy of the flowers astonish those 
who have never seen any but the ordinary house Begonia. The bulbs can be started from March to June and 
will be in full bloom. Must be kept from direct sunshine. 
SINGLE—White, rose, scarlet.
