Tuberous Begonias 
Single and Double in Many Colors 
For The Garden or Window Boxes 
If you long for a beautifully colored flower 
which Is different from any other class. Tuberous 
Booted Begonias will please you. There are two 
classes—singles which often grow six inches or 
more across and doubles up to flve inches. 
The rich, velvety, crinkled foliage is prettier than 
any other begonia. They do best when direct sun does 
not hit them from ten to three in mid-summer. But 
they should not be grown in total shade. Colors are 
variations in pink, yellow, orange, red and crimson. 
You will seldom find two of exactly the same 
shade if you plant a hundred bulbs, so the more you 
plant the more interesting they become. 
LONG LIFE 
Every year, customers tell us of having kept their 
Begonia bulbs for many years by digging them in the 
fall and storing them in fruit or potato cellars. 
EASY TO GROW 
Tuberous Begonias are easy for the home gardener 
to handle and florists make big money in growing them. 
I start mine in shallow boxes of soil in the house about 
a month before time to set them out in the garden. 
This permits about three leaves to get fully formed by 
the time danger from frost has passed. I should hate 
to have to do without Tuberous Begonias and I know 
' you will feel the same way after you have tried them. 
You can plant them in the garden or in porch and win¬ 
dow boxes.
