Miscellaneous Summer-Flowering Bulbs and Roots 
Fraser's Mixture of Giant-Flowering Gladiolus 
BEGONIA. Giant double Camellia-flowered. 
BEGONIAS, Tuberous-Rooted 
We offer an especially fine strain of 
truly giant-flowering varieties. They suc¬ 
ceed best in rather moist soil and in a 
shady situation. Excellent for bedding 
out under trees: they will brighten many 
a shady spot where no other flowers will 
succeed. To have them in bloom in May, 
start the tubers in the hotbed or cold- 
frame in February or March in pots or 
boxes. A light peaty soil is most suitable, 
and until roots have formed, water spar¬ 
ingly. The temperature of the frames 
should be at least 60 to 70 degrees. The 
plants can be bedded out as soon as all 
danger of frost is past (about May 25 to 
June 1), at which time they will be in 
bud or Ijlooming; set from 10 to 12 inches 
apart. The tubers may also be planted in 
the ground the middle of May or even 
later, for blooms during August and 
until frost.

our wonderful strains of these most 
lovely spring flowers, and each succeed¬

finest bulbs grown. 
Ranunculus are taller growing than

ble (some are semi-double and still others 
are single) and the colors cover a wide 
range of reds, rose, orange, yellow with 
many intermediate shades. A splendid cut 
flower. 
Ranunculus should not be planted more 
than 4 or 5 inches apart, as they succeed 
best in mass plantings. They require a

little fertilizer. After planting, a good 
mulch of ground peat moss is very 
beneficial.
