BEGONIA MULTIFLORA NANA 
(Hilustrated in lower portion of picture) 
This group of tuberous-rooted begonias is not 
altogether new, but until recently has been very 
little grown in America. They have a dwarf bushy 
growth and are covered all summer with a mass 
of small flowers and we find they will stand a 
trifle more sunlight and a little more atmosphere 
which makes them very suitable as shady porch- 
box material and as border for the large flowered 
tuberous rooted begonia beds. 
Available in eight separate colors. 
Dry bulbs or tubers 1 inch to 112 inch. No. 1 size. 
Bulb plants 5-inch pots. 
OTHER SHADE LOVING 
PLANTS FOR 1948 
FUCHSIA 
There is no more satisfactory shrubbery plant for 
partial shady area of your garden than the Fuchsia. 
It may be grown in every state in the union. Many 
varieties bloom continuously from early spring until 
late fall. With its almost endless variety of types 
and forms, its single and double flowers ranging 
in size from that of a tiny lilac blossom to flowers 
five inches long, and a color range from white 
through the entire gamut to violet, it is little won- 
der that again it is fast coming into its own. Some 
varieties work well as background for the Tuberous 
Rooted Begonias and some make wonderful hang- 
ing baskets, for the shade, while some, grown 
as trees, make accent points in the shady formal 
garden. 
This year we will have Fuchsias in four-inch 
pots at $1.00 each, and six-inch pots at $3.50 each. 
Aiso a few standards from $5.00 to $10.00. Avail- 
able from May 10th on. 
FANCY LEAFED CALADIUMS 
The exotic tropical foliage plant with gorgeous 
coloring, providing a brilliant subject unexcelled 
for many uses. Taking little care, they are ideal 
for the home, hotel store or office. Use them for 
pot plants, window boxes, plant arrangements, and 
out-of-doors around pools and bog gardens, or in 
shady damp places for eolor. Available from May 
10th on. Large plants at $1.00 to $3.00 each. 
HELIOTROPE, ROYAL FRAGRANCE 
This is another old plant which has lost favor 
because people planted it in the sun, but is now 
rapidly coming into its own again when planted 
in partial shade. As long as Tuberous Rooted 
Begonias have no odor nor blue shades in their 
color range we suggest using a few Heliotrope, 
Royal Fragrance (the most sweet scented and 
darkest blue) planted in the same bed to give the 
contrasting blue and the eweet Heliotrone odor. 
Truly one of the old favorites that still can not 
be surpassed if planted in partial shade. Ready 
from May 10th on. 212-in. pot-grown plants @15e 
each or $1.50 per dozen. 4-in. pot-grown plants 
@50c each or $5.00 per dozen. 
TORENIA FOURNIERI 
An annual that thrives in either shade or sun. 
The bloom looks like a cross between a_ snap- 
dragon (with the tube like structure) and a viola 
with a sky blue, dark blue, and white markings. 
This is another blue flower that combines well 
with the tuberous begonia, both as an edging 
plant for begonias and as a cut flower. 
This is ene of the lesser known annuals that 
we never seem to have enough of. 
Plants are ready about May 20th. 2le-in. pot- 
srewn blants 15c each er $1.50 a dozen.
