SUEDEDBR BULBS 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
The Tuberous-rooted Begonias are among the handsomest of our 
aummer flowering bulbs. They are not grown to the extent they should 
be. They bloom continuously throughout the summer, till frost cuts 
them. Planted either in the rockery or flower border, they rival the rose 
with their rich and varied colors, ranging from the most delicate shades 
of white, yellow and salmon to the most striking crimson and scarlet.
