Few house plants are so entirely satisfactory in 
every way as the Rex Begonias. They are rich in 
color and beautiful in design and are easily han- 
dled under almost any condition. The large, broad 
leaves, high colorings and exquisite markings make 
them invaluable as decorative plants for house 
culture. They make excellent plants for baskets 
and vases if given plenty of moisture and not ex- 
posed to the full rays of the sun. We can supply
