BOUGAINVILLEA 
When pruned and pinched back, this southern vine makes a showy pot specimen 
covered with cheery, bell-shaped blooms about an inch across, facing upward 
along the entire length of all the branches. They bloom well in February or 
March, and even later. Grow in a house a little over 50°, plunging the pots 
outdoors during the Summer. They will flower profusely in a cool intermedi- 
ate house when planted in the bench, but need a slightly higher temperature 
for blooming in pots. They also bloom for a longer period when in a warmish 
situation. They do not require shading from the sun, the flowers being more 
highly colored when exposed to its full influence. 
We offer the following varieties in 23" pots.......ccsccccseeeeed for $1.00 
CRIMSON LAKE. Red SANDERIANA. Orchid purple ZIECHMANNI. Lavender 
BEGONIA 
Several of our varieties being so far ahead of the others, you will probab- 
ly want to know more about them in particular. Glory of Cincinnati is about 
the best for Winter flowering. Procure small sizes early in the year; shift 
when the fine roots begin to become potbound- During Summer, give an airy, 
cool house, with some protection | against the hot rays of the sun. When Fall 
arrives, keep between 55° and 60°; and give full sunlight. Stake the plants 
well, allowing for future growth. Chatelaine can be had in bloom all around 
the calendar, and for Christmas flowering, it only needs 50° . While not as 
floriferous or vigorous as Cincinnati, it blooms for a longer period.
