NEW TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS. 
The New Tuberous Rooted Begonias are among the most beautiful 
of all Summer flowering bulbs. They grow 12 to 15 inches high, branching 
freely and blooming abundantly all Summer and Fall. The flowers are 
exceedingly rich and handsome ; from four to six inches across, and many 
brilliant colors, including red, pink, crimson, scarlet, salmon, yellow and 
pure white. The bulbs should be started early in the house and set out 
when ground is warm, they like rich moist ground when convenient, but 
will do well in all usual places, if mulched with old well rotted manure or 
some similar material to shade the ground and prevent it from getting too 
hot and dry. Keep roots in cellar over Winter and they will produce larger 
and finer flowers year after year. They are very grand and beautiful and 
extensively planted in the finest places.
