TUBEROUS BEGONIAS, all selected bulb s. 
REX or PAINTED LEAF BEGONIAS. 
These are unquestionably the most showy and gorgeous Begonias grown. The colorings, blendings 
and metallic lustre contained in them are bewildering and render description inadequate while the 
size and form of the leaves are of greatest variety. This year we have secured a grand collection of the 
best sorts from Germany and Belgium, care being taken to select only those that are strong growing 
and highly colored. It would require much space to offer them with descriptions of the different 
varieties but many of them are beautifully spotted and unique in their markings Rich metallic 
shades of various colors are blended with silver, light green, velvety dark green, pink, rose, blood-red 
crimson and maroon. Some are covered with fine hairs giving the leaves a frosted appearance. They 
are easily grown, rich but light soil, warmth and shade in summer being essential. We offer plants 
from 3-inch pots, 25c. each. Our selection of 6 named sorts, $1.50; our selection of 12 named sorts* 
$2.50. Mixed without names 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
CALADIUMS. 
Among ornamental foliage plants 
there are none more beautiful in 
design or gorgeous i n coloring 
than the Fancy-Leaved Caladi - 
urns. Useful for pot culture, 
window and piazza boxes. Most 
of the varieties planted about 
June 1st in partially shaded 
borders succeed admirably as bed¬ 
ding plants. We offer 20 distinct 
sorts; the richness of coloring is 
bewildering and impossible to 
describe in our limited space. 
Brilliant red and green, green with 
spots and red veins, etc., etc.
