Begonias *» e e Tuberous Rooted 
SCHEEPERS’ GIANTS. All bulbs are selected in the field 
at flowering time and we therefore can guarantee their 
trueness to type and color. (Hundreds of letters were 
received last summer from our customers telling us that 
they have never seen such exquisite flowers and fine 
healthy plants.) 
These colorful shade loving plants give a great abun- 
dance of flowers from the end of May until frost; not 
only do the beautiful flowers add charm to that some- 
times neglected shady spot in the garden, the beautiful 
leaf formations are most exquisite. 
Ideal cut flowers for vases or bowls—in the latter they 
may be used to float on water for exquisite artistic 
arrangements. 
CAMELLIA BEGONIAS 
DOUBLE CAMELLIA. See illustration. This is the most 
popular type of all for the exquisite formation of flow- 
ers. They are excellent as pot plants or for bedding pur- 
poses in the border. Can be supplied in the following 
colors: white, yellow, blush pink, red and salmon. Extra 
selected Jumbo Bulbs, $6.50 for 10; $62.50 per 100.

Start the bulbs indoors and hasten the flowering 
period: they are ready for immediate delivery and plant- 
ing. Place the bulbs in sharp sand or peat moss, pref- 
erably in a flat. Just cover them with sand or peat moss 
and keep in a temperature not lower than 60 degrees. 
In two weeks they will have made sufficient roots for 
potting, then remove from the sand or peat and plant 
one bulb in a 6-inch pot. Water sparingly until growth 
has started. When danger of frost is over, they are ready 
for planting outdoors where you will enjoy the lovely 
blooms all summer long, from May until November. 
SELECTED NAMED VARIETIES 
(As illustrated in color in Life Magazine ) 
These new introductions were given much acclaim at all 
flower shows this past summer either as pot plants or 
as individual cut blooms for very superior quality and 
exquisite shadings. 
AUTUMN GLOW. An extremely large flower of the 
Cristata type, the crest being a deep copper, contrasting 
with the rest of the flower which is apricot. Blossoms 
often are 10 inches across. The foliage is very attractive 
and much more luxuriant than any other Tuberous 
Rooted Begonia. 
FASCINATION. Pure white with a distinct light pink 
picotee edge. Extremely large flowers, many times 10 
inches across. Beautiful as an exhibition pot plant or as 
a center piece in the garden. Delightful for cutting to 
use as a water floating flower. 
RED TRIUMPH. Camellia type flower delightfully ruf- 
fled ruby red with a fine velvety texture. The flower has 
a definite center and is one of the best of all double 
Camellias. . 
ROSE DAWN. A perfect Camellia type, the petals are 
very long and even of a rich clear rose with a very sym- 
metrical form. Delightful. 
SUNSET. A large Crispa type very heavily frilled. The 
outer edge of the petal is orange with an apricot center. 
Very beautiful. 
STARS AND STRIPES. A large open Camellia-like flow- 
er of brick red. The flowers are delightfully speckled 
with white. While the blooms are not large they are 
produced in large quantities on the plant. Exquisite.
