Begonias, Tuberous-rooted 
Bulbs are hollowed on one side and in 
planting the hollowed side must be up. 
They make strong, fleshy stems a foot or 
more high, with big, bristly, very beautiful 
leaves, crowned by flowers of enormous size 
and almost unbelievable brilliance. Blooms 
416 to 5 inches across are not unusual. 
They should be started in pots or pans in- 
doors in February or March, and trans- 
planted to the garden about the time that 
corn is growing well. They may also be 
started outdoors at the same time but will 
bloom later. Separate colors: Single varie- 
ties, white, scarlet, pink, or yellow 
flowers; Double varieties, red, salmon, 
rose, or orange flowers. Above varieties, 
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $20 per 100.

flowers. Profuse bloomer. 75 cts. each,

Caladium esculentum 
Elephant’s Ear 
For imposing masses of tropical foliage 
there is nothing so effective or so easily 
grown as the Elephant’s Ear. The plants 
grow from 3 to 5 feet high. Plant the bulbs 
late in May, after all danger from frost is 
past, spacing them 2 to 4 feet apart and 
covering them a few inches deep. The 
larger the bulb, the larger the plant and 
the more space required. If extra-large 
plants are desired, start the bulbs indoors 
in pots or large boxes, in March or early 
April, and transplant to the open about 
June 1. Give plenty of water throughout 
the season; liquid manure is very beneficial.
