Anaryllis 
AMARYLLIS HYBRIDS 
There is nothing that will give the amateur greater pleasure for growing 
in the house as well as in the garden. These giant-flowering Amaryllis 
produce a magnificent blossom with the least possible care and trouble. 
Planted in a pot tn the fall they will bloom about six or eight weeks 
after planting. Bulbs may be kept dormant and planted a week or ten 
days apart so that you will have succession of bloom throughout the 
entire winter. In the garden they may be planted during March, April 
and May, depending upon locality, and they will bloom during June and 
July as easily as Gladioli. The bulbs throw a vigorous stem with 4 to 6 
gigantic blooms, ranging in color from pure white grounds with varied 
markings of rose, red and crimson to the richest self colors as scarlet, 
crimson and bright red. We can supply from November until April, 
bulbs guaranteed to bloom.

winter to be planted the following spring. They last indefinitely.

Begonia 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS 
No other plant is so valuable for summer bloom in shady places. Be- 
ginning in July, they carry many huge flowers in a wide range of pastel 
and bright colors, from pure white to yellow, salmon and deep rich 
crimson. The enormous flowers, running 4 inches or more in size, are 
held well above the broad attractive foliage. In addition to their use 
a the garden they make excellent plants to force in pots for indoor 
oom. 
Culture. Begonias delight in a rich soil. It is best to start the bulbs 
in pots, the soil of which should be composed of at least one-third sand. 
Water sparingly until the first leaves start to show. Then increase the 
water supply so that the soil at all times ison the moist side, though 
not wet. Do not set outdoors until all danger of frost is past. They 
may be set either singly, in clumps of three, or in full beds. When 
planted in masses, set them 1 foot apart.

This mixture contains a fantastic riot of colors, forms and shapes. 
Yellow, pink, white, rose, salmon in all tints and hues. Gorgeous cam- 
ellia-shaped blooms, curiously crested giant single flowers as well as 
brilliantly colored pompons. A bed of these growing in a shady place 
will give you an endless variety of rare flowers for table decoration, 
not to mention a magnificent display of color outside throughout the 
summer and fall until stopped by frost. The bulbs should then be dug 
and stored in a cool place. They will be ready for planting the following 
April. With little care they last almost forever, they keep more easily 
than gladiolus bulbs.

SFtawdy Begonia Cvanstana 
Handsome Clean Foliage, Attractive Pink Flowers All Summer and 
Fall in Deepest Shade 
Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
Begonia Evansiana is an ideal hardy bulb for woodland planting or 
ground covering. Shady places in woods, or under shrubs which in early 
spring are gay and colorful with Virginia Blue Bells, Trillium, Grape Hya- 
cinths, and Bloodroot present a ‘/sore sight’ all summer and fall when 
their foliage has disappeared. A few hardy Begonia bulbs planted right on 
top and over these spring-flowering bulbs will create a most attractive 
effect which lasts all summer and fall until frost. The bulbs are left right 
in the ground over winter and will continue year after year, increasing 
rapidly from the small bulblets produced each season. Space them 6 to 8 
inches apart and plant 2 inches deep. Evansiana is one of the most useful 
summer-flowering bulbs because it grows and blooms where nothing else 
will and is a perfect “follow up” for spring-flowering bulbs in naturalistic 
plantings.
