TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS 
(See Back Cover) 
No flower has captured the imagination of the American public and has proven its all- 
around effectiveness more than Tuberous-Rooted Begonias in recent years. There is no 
flower as colorful or as reliable for fully shaded and semi-shaded areas in the garden, 
equally as home grown in pots or directly in the ground. 
Tuberous-Rooted Begonias supply a never-ending all-summer display of gorgeous and 
exotic flowers. They may 
be cut and used as Ca- 
mellias in a corsage. The 
flowers can be floated in 
low bowls of water for 
table decoration. Tuber- 
ous-Rooted Begonias are 
of easiest culture. 
For long time enjoy- 
ment we suggest starting 
the tubers in pots during 
March and setting the 
green plants out, or the 
bulbs may be planted di- 
rectly in the open ground. 
For those interested in 
purchasing started green 
plants, a listing of this 
will be found on page 38.

GLOXINIAS 
Possibly the most reliable 
summer flowering house 
plant. Not particularly ad- 
visable for garden planting. 
Gloxinias, however, are a 
splendid flowering plant 
for the home and porch 
during the entire summer. 
They can be started at any 
time from mid-February 
until May. Soil should be 
light and rich, and water- 
ing should be done prefer- 
ably by placing the pot ina 
container full of water, or 
keeping it in a’ saucer in 
which the water level is 
maintained. See page 56 
for complete listing of col- 
ors and price.
