FOR HOUSE AND GARDEN 
BEGONIAS, Tuberous-Rooted. They Love the Shade 
What a wonderfully beautiful and useful flower so many people are missing 
when they neglect to grow some of these Tuberous Begonias! As outdoor 
bedding plants for shady places, they are unrivaled. In window- and porch- 
boxes, in half-shady spots, they do wonderfully well. Planted in pots for win¬ 
ter house flowers, they are very fine. They are easily grown. Set the bulbs a 
foot apart and 1 1/2 inches deep, in a shaded spot, in any well-drained soil 
into which has been dug peat moss and plant-food. In the fall, spread out 
to dry, and keep over winter in sand in a cool place. 
Large bulbs, 1 V 2 inches and up in diameter. 
SPECIAL PRICES ON ALL VARIETIES OF TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIA BULBS: 
20c each; 55c for 3; $2.00 for 12; $3.50 for 25.

Dark red, pink, salmon, white, scarlet, yellow.

porch and window boxes. Mixed colors. 
CALLA, Elliottiana 
The best of the Yellow Callas. Flowers as large as the white, winter-flowering 
variety, and a rich, lustrous golden yellow of velvety texture. The foliage is 
dark green, with a number of translucent creamy white spots, which add much 
to its beauty. Planted in the open border in a dormant condition when danger 
from frost is over in spring, this Calla will then flower during the summer 
months. When the tops are killed by frost in the autumn, dig and store through 
the winter as you would potatoes. Strong bulbs. 35c each; 85c for 3; $3.25 for 
12; $25 per 100.

3 to 4 feet long and 2'/2 feet wide. It is very effective in beds and borders 
and is used extensively in public parks where its decorative value is greatly 
appreciated. Plant them outside when the ground is warm in the spring or start 
them indoors early and transplant outside. Mammoth bulbs. 25c each; 65c 
for 3, $2.50 for 12. 
Fancy Leaved Caladiums 
A splendid summer foliage plant of marvelous beauty for indoor growing or 
even for outdoor beds in shady spots. Grow the same as Tuberous-rooted 
Begonias. Choice mixture of varieties. 30c each; 85c for 3; $3.00 for 12.
