Flowering, Fancy Leaved, Bedding Begonias 
Double Flowering 
Tuberous Begonias 
The handsomest of our summer-blooming 
plants, flowering throughout the season in 
any nook or corner in complete shade. Noth¬ 
ing can exceed the brilliancy of their col¬ 
ors, the delicacy of their tints, the richness 
of their waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of 
their effect in masses. On the approach of 
cold weather they should be taken up, and 
the bulbs stored away in a warm place. 
We offer double flowering bulbs In five 
colors: White, Salmon, Pink, Yellow and 
Crimson. 32o ea., 8 for 82c, 6 for $1-76, 
doz. for $3.38.
