Begonias, Tuberous-rooted 
These plants grow from hard, crooked 
bulbs, like flat potatoes, hollowed on one 
side. In planting, be sure that the hollow 
side is up. They make strong, fleshy stems 
a foot or more high, with big, bristly, very 
beautiful leaves, crowned by flowers of 
enormous size and almost unbelievable 
brilliance. Blooms to 5 inches across 
are not unusual. They should be started 
in pots or pans indoors in February or 
March, and transplanted to the garden 
about the time that corn is growing well. 
They may also be started outdoors at the 
same time but will bloom later. Separate 
colors: Single varieties, white, scarlet, 
pink, or yellow flowers; Double varie¬ 
ties, red, salmon, rose, or orange 
flowers. All varieties, 25 cts. each, $2.50 
per doz., $16 per 100. 
Gloxinia

shape produced by tender, tropical bulbs 
which may be grown in pots or greenhouse 
benches. The large foliage is covered with

Caladium esculentum 
Elephant’s Ear 
For imposing masses of tropical foliage 
there is nothing so effective or so easily 
grown as the Elephant’s Ear. The plants 
grow from 3 to 5 feet high. Plant the bulbs 
late in May, after all danger from frost is 
past, spacing them 2 to 4 feet apart and 
covering them a few inches deep. The 
larger the bulb, the larger the plant and 
the more space required. If extra-large 
plants are desired, start the bulbs indoors 
in pots or large boxes, in March or early 
April, and transplant to the open about 
June i. Give plenty of water throughout 
the season; liquid manure is very beneficial.
