CALADIUM ESCULENTUM. TUBEROUS BEGONIA. 
The Caladium 
is one of the 
handsomest of 
the ornamental¬ 
leaved plants. 
Roots obtained 
in the spring 
will make good 
plants in the 
summer, and in 
the fall the roots 
should be taken 
up and stored in 
a cellar. Leaves 
a foot or more in 
length, nearly as 
broad.

ERYTHRINA. 
Erythrina, roots, each 
The Erythrina is a fine, 
robust plant, with broad 
leaves and large red flowers, 
an inch or two in length, 
and growing in long ra¬ 
cemes, sometimes ten or 
twelve inches in length. 
The roots are thick and 
fleshy, but not exactly 
tuberous, and may be kept 
in a pit or cellar during the 
winter. Plants put out in 
the spring will flower dur¬ 
ing the summer, and be¬ 
fore hard frosts should be 
taken up, cut back and 
stored away until spring.

TRITOMA. 
Tritoma, roots, per dozen, £3.00 ; each 
The Tritoma 
flowers late 
in the sum¬ 
mer, usually 
commencing 
in August, 
and continu¬ 
ing till win¬ 
ter, and is 
adapted for 
large beds or 
groups, the 
many flame- 
colored ra¬ 
cemes form¬ 
ing a stately 
object. The 
flower stems 
grow from 
four to five 
feet high, 
surmounted 
by a spike of 
curious red 
and orange 
flowers, a 
foot in length 
very showy. 
The tuberous-rooted Begonias are becoming quite 
popular for planting out in the spring, as we plant out 
the Tigridia, Tuberose, &c. The bulbs are of singular 
appearance, and produce fine plants that will flower 
profusely until frost, either in the garden or in pots, and 
seem to bear cither sun or shade. Some of the varieties 
bear very large drooping flowers, as shown in the engrav¬ 
ing, while others have smaller blossoms in erect spikes.

TUBEROSE. 
The Tuberose is 
a beautiful, pure 
white, wax-like, 
very sweet stented, 
double flower, grow¬ 
ing on tall stems, 
each stem bearing 
a dozen or more 
flowers. In cold lat¬ 
itudes, obtain tubers 
early, plant them in 
boxes of earth, and 
remove to a warm 
place in the house ; 
when quite warm, 
transplant to the 
garden. Those who 
want this beautiful 
flower in the early 
winter can plant a 
few bulbs in pots in 
July or August, sink 
them to the rim in 
earth in the garden, 
where they can re¬ 
main until the cool 
nights of autumn, to 
be then removed to 
the house.

the old sort. The engravings show both kinds.
