Here we have a fine bulb for growing in deep shade. During September 
and October they are covered with pink flowers. The foliage is a deep 
green with traces of bronze. Height under favorable conditions 18 to 20 
inches. There are few bulbs which produce flowers or do well under the 
trying conditions as are encountered under shade trees. Begonia Evans- 
jana can be grown there with complete success. The bulbs are perfectly 
hardy if given a little protection of leaves or strawy manure during the 
winter, and do not have to be taken up.

Among the most effective plants for beds, borders, or for planting out 
upon the lawn. Of gorgeous tropical appearance with extremely large, 
rich green leaves beautifully veined with deep velvety green. To obtain 
the best results they should be planted in a rich compost and where they 
will receive plenty of water. When full size they stand 6 to 10 feet high.

Fancy-Leaved Mixed Variet’es Each $9.30, Doz. $3.00 
Beautiful, variegated-leaved plants adapted for pot culture in the house 
where they make beautiful and easily grown specimens. Bulbs planted in 
late May make pretty display borders or for edging taller plants and are

CALLA 
We call especial attention to the Yellow Calla, which is one of the grand- 
est varieties in cultivation, and most valuable for house or conservatory 
decoration. In April or May dormant bulbs may be planted neor the pool 
in a sunny spot where they will flower beautifully in August or September.

reaching a height of 18 inches, and are produced abundantly. The white 
flowers are small and trumpet-shaped with crimson blotch at the base.

One that should be planted extensively. The deep golden yellow flowers

den subject. 
Rehmanni Each $0.70, Doz. $7.00
