ELLIOTT’S SUPERB TUBEROUS ROOTED 
BEGONIAS. 
OUR STRAIN OF BEGONIAS IS UNEXCELLED. 
No class of plants of equal decorative value can be grown 
with less labor and attention than the Begonia. Plant about 
May 15th, and you will have a mass of beautiful foliage set off 
with unsurpassed sprays of immense flowers, measuring from 4 
to 7 inches across. The shapely glistening leaves gracefully 
droop to the ground and form a dense oval pyramid, while this 
is crowned with an unbroken mass of flowers endless in color 
— from the warm rich scarlet, soft rose, golden yellow, pure 
white, etc.—making a most surprising sight to any one not 
familiar with them. The plants are covered with bloom the 
entire season. When the foliage dies down in September or 
October, they should be set away in a warm, dry place to 
remain until planting time the following Spring. Our strain of 
both double and single is superb, and must not be judged by 
ordinary bulbs. Those who plant our Begonia bulbs will be 
astonished at the great size and brilliancy of the flowers.
