Tuberous Rooted 
Begonias 
This lovely type of Begonia with its large and exquisite blooms is becoming 
more popular each year. It grows and blooms in shady places, under trees, in 
beds, in porch boxes, or tubs, in places where other flowers will not thrive. 
For a long blooming season start the tubers indoors not later than March. They 
will be ready to set out in beds, porch boxes, hanging baskets or tubs as soon as 
danger of frost is over. Or they may be planted directly outdoors if planted in a 
sheltered location and protected from late frosts. They will bloom continually 
until the tops freeze down in the fall. Instructions for planting and care, and 
for winter storing will be enclosed with your order. Place your order early 
before colors or types are sold out.

large illustrated catalog of standard and novelty Daffodils, Tulips, Hardy 
Garden Lilies, Hyacinths, Crocus and other spring flowering bulbs. We hope 
at that time also to be able to introduce some of the new varieties of Daffodils 
and Tulips developed in Holland during the war. 
If you are interested in receiving a copy of this catalog, be sure your 
request is on file in our office; unless of course you have ordered bulbs from 
us before, in which case your name is already in our catalog files. If you 
have friends who grow Daffodils, Lilies and Tulips we will be happy to 
have their names also.
