General Collection of Tender Plants—Continued 
Flowering Bogonias 
Price, 2^4-inch pots, except where noted, 60 cents per dozen; 
■$4.00 per hundred. 
Begonias are fine to plant on the north side of the house 
or other building, or in front of porch where they get shade. 
The foliage as well as the flowers are extremely ornamental, 
some being spotted and veined to give a parti-colored effect 
that is quite striking. Begonias planted with Crotons give a 
wonderful foliage effect, and this is heightened with their 
lovely showy flowers. 
ALBA P1CTA —Long, pointed, slender leaves, thickly spotted l 
with silvery-white. Foliage small and elegant. 
ARGENTEA GUTTATA —It has purple-bronze leaves, oblong 
in shape, with silvery markings, and is in every way a most 
beautiful Begonia. Produces white flowers in bunches on 
ends of growth stems. Good for house culture. 
CORALLIN'E LUCERNE, The Grand New Ever-blooming Be¬ 
gonia —This is the grandest of all flowering Begonias. A i 
strong, vigorous grower, with stiff stems and upright habit. 
The green foliage is long and pointed, freely dotted with 
silvery-white. The flowers are home in great clusters from 
twelve to eighteen inches across, almost hiding the plant. 
The color is a beautiful, bright coral-red of a heavy, waxen 
texture. This variety is one of the most prolific bloomers 
of all the large growing Begonias. Its freedom in blooming, 
the large, rich and showy foliage combined, make it an ex¬ 
cellent decorative plant for the house or conservatory, and it '■ 
should find its place in every collection. $1.00 per dozen; 
$8;00 per hundred. 
GRACILIS LUMINOSA —A magnificent new specimen of the 
Semperflorens type, exceptionally sturdy and vigorous, and 
unquestionably one of the choicest bedding sorts in exis¬ 
tence. Flowers large, perfect and plentiful; never out of 
bloom. Color brightest scarlet. 
MARGUERITE — Leaves a bronzy-green, somewhat resembling 
Metallica, but growing in more bushy form, and easier to 
handle when grown in pots. Large trusses of light rose- 
colored flowers freely produced. 
PICTA ROSEA -A wonderfully free-growing Begonia of sterling 
worth and great beauty. The plant is very compact in 
growth, forming a dense, well-proportioned bush with rich 
green foliage, spotted with silver. The flower is a rosy-flesh 
color, shaded with a silvery-pink and enlivened with dense 
clusters of yellow anthers. One of the most wonderful flow¬ 
ering Begonias within our knowledge. It blooms continually. 
RICINIFOLIA MACULATA — A fine tropical looking plant with 
large ricinus-like leaves, twelve inches or more in diameter, 
on long stems ; deep velvety green above, and purplish-red 
underneath. The flower stems rise three or four feet or more 
above the foliage, bearing aloft fine, large, airy panicles of 
beautiful pale pink flowers. The stems grow along the sur¬ 
face of the ground. It makes a fine pot plant, and grows very 
large when planted outside. $1.00 per dozen; $7.00 per 100. 
RUBRA —The most widely known and probably the best of all 
Begonias. This variety is usually very scarce and in great 
demand. We have a fine stock of it. Dozen, 75 cents; hun¬ 
dred. $5.00. 
R0BUSTA— This is one of the most peculiar Begonias grown. 
The stalk, stem and under side of the leaf are Indian-red. 
The upper side of the leaf glossy olive-green. The flower 
is composed of two wide and two narrow petals, the wide 
ones being broadcast at the base and terminating in a round 
point, of a beautiful bright rose. 
THURSTON I —The under side of the leaves is a rich, purplish- 
red, the veinings very prominent, while the face, or upper 
side, is a bronzy-green, shaded with crimson and olive, with 
a peculiar glossy metallic* luster over all. Flowers rosy- 
white, in large clusters well above the foliage. The plant 
has a fine habit. 
VERNON —A deep rose-flowering Begonia. Suitable for pot 
culture or bedding out. Always in bloom.
