Tuberous Begonias 
Single-Mammouth, Frilled & Crispa. 
Double-Giant, Cristata & Fimbriata. 
And Narcissus-Flowered. 
Do Equally Well in Garden, Indoors, in Porch Boxes 
and in Window Boxes. 
GLORIOUS COLOR TONES 
As wide a range of color tones as -Tulip family, on 
background of rich, velvety, crinkled foliage. Many 
write us that their Begonias attract admiration of all 
who see them. The unusual forms and waxy texture 
make for rare beauty that will thrill you. Grand for 
cut-flowers, corsages, table decorations. 
EASY TO GROW 
Even a child can succeed, with our fine bulbs. Cus¬ 
tomers tell us they have kept the same bulbs for years, 
by storing indoors like potatoes before frost in the fall, 
with no reduction in size or number of flowers. 
CULTURE. Plant bulbs outdoors as soon as frost is 
over, where summer mid-day sun from 10:00 to 3:00 
does not strike them. (But not in total shade). Use 
good, well-drained, finely worked soil. I like to start 
mine indoors in sand about three weeks before time to 
transplant in garden. If you do this, do not permit 
more than three small, but perfectly-formed leaves to 
develop before you transplant. If you permit them to 
get too large before setting them in the garden, they 
will run more to foliage and less to flowers and flowers 
are what you desire.
