The Finest Display In America For Years 
Heretofore we have catalogued 
Tuberous-Rooted‘Begonias and Glox¬ 
inias only in our Spring Seed Book 
and Catalogue, but now that their 
importation from Belgium has been 
prohibited and a good place has been 
discovered in this great country of 
our own where far finer Bulbs can 
b e grown than ever came from 
Europe, and in fair quantities, we 
receive, them earlier in December 
last year, and shall include them 
in our Autumn Book, because it is 
very desirable to start the Tubers in¬ 
doors as earljfcCTis February, either 
singly in small pots or two inches 
apart in flat boxes. The soil should 
be light, containing plenty of leaf 
mould and sand. Be careful to set

begins, then increase water but never more than enough to 
60 to 70 degrees. By June they will be in full bloom and ar* 
derful colors, the flowers so large, and 
so numerous, and they can be now set 
outdoors,a partially shady location, in 
sandy soil being best, although they 
will do well anywhere, even in broad, 
open sun,provided they are kept moist. 
Do avoid, however, a wind swept bed. 
Tubers that were not started in the 
house, but ore dormant, may be set di¬ 
rectly in beds, outdoors, the last week 
of May, or later, and will soon bloom 
splendidly. Many people grow them 
altogether in pots, but they are best 
for bedding outdoors for which the 
Tuberous-Rooted Begonias are recog¬ 
nized as among our most attractive 
and satisfactory plants. Outdoors 
they should be set 10 to 12 in. apart. 
Our Tubers were grown for us 
by the most skillful and reliable Be¬ 
gonia and Gloxinia propagators in 
America, and the crops are reported as 
well advanced and unusually ■ promis¬ 
ing in quality. We offer, only one size, 
the Giant Bulbs, H to 2 ifiches in diam¬ 
eter, for both double and single flower¬ 
ing.
