BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA. 
“ We have grown this new Bougainvillea in a greenhouse where it has 
continued flowering for seven months, small and large plants alike being 
covered with blossoms. Even plants in thumb-pots were laden with 
bloom. The house in which our plants have been cultivated has been a 
siieet of flowers from May until December, and at the time of writing 
(December 30th) the plants are carrying thousands of their brilliant 
blossoms. Many excellent judges state that this will be a favorite 
market plant, as it produces as freely as a Fuchsia its dazzling rosy crim¬ 
son flowers, lasting so long in perfection, and produced in smallest pots, 
under all conditions, in amazing profusion. We can with all confidence 
recommend this grand plant as a great acquisition.”—( Introducer’s de¬ 
scription.) (See cut.) Price, 50c. each ; small plants, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS, 
These are now the most popular plants for beds of summer flowers, or 
as pot plants for the greenhouse, conservatory or sitting-room. Our 
bulbs are ail sound, well matured and of good size. For a time it was 
generally supposed that these could not be grown in the open air with 
success, but extensive plantings of them in various sections of the country 
have demonstrated their adaptability for 
this purpose. Nothing can exceed the 
brilliancy and richness of their flowers. 
From the time the first blossom appears 
until all growth is stopped by frost, they 
are never out of bloom. (See cut below.)
