in cultivation. Flowers are of enormous size, fine form, and of a 
great diversity of colors. They make splendid pot-plants for store 
sales, and when in bloom sell on sight at a good price. We offer 
mixed colors only. $4.00 per doz.; per 100, $30.00.

Single Frilled Begonias (Large Bulbs) 
Crimson Orange Pink and Rose Salmon 
Scarlet White Yellow Mixed 
Anemone {Ready in October) 
Excellent for cut-flowers and sells readily with any florist who has a 
store trade. On arrival of bulbs, soak them in lukewarm water for from 
12 to 18 hours before planting. Use virgin soil that is not heavy and 
which has been lightly mulched with peat moss. Plant in deep bulb- 
pans or flats, allowing about 2 inches each way; water sparingly until well 
established and carry over in a deep coldframe; bring into a 45° green¬ 
house about the middle of January and let them develop slowly. 
Do not attempt to force or over-water. Grown in this way they 
should flower the latter part of March or early in April.

Fa ncy-Leaved Caladiums 
Ready in January 
We list only the best named standard and newer sorts, including the 
choicest of the Brazilian types, and cover a wide range of the brightest 
colorings and markings which are difficult to describe accurately. The 
bulbs should be started in damp moss with plenty of bottom heat and 
an occasional dampening. 
Do not allow them to get chilled, and at all times grow them in a 
warm, shaded place. 
NOTE. It often happens that the finest-colored varieties do not pro¬ 
duce the largest bulbs. You can depend on our bulbs for best results.
