Hanging Begonia, Lloydi 
THE NEW BEGONIA MULTIFLORA 
Here we have a most interesting European development in Tuberous 
Begonias. This strain has been bred to produce hundreds of medium sized 
flowers per plant, instead of a limited number of the giant flowers. Beds 
and borders planted with the Multiflora Begonias are more colorful and 
brilliant because of the grecter masses of blooms which are carried well 
above the foliage. They also are able to withstand heat and direct sunlight 
better than the other types but of course their big value is their ability to 
give lots of color in shcde. The bulbs should be dug after the tops have 
been killed by frost and may be used again the following season. They 
increase in size from year to year.

Hardy Begonia, Evansiana—Does Well in Deep Shade {180} 
HANGING BEGONIA LLOYDI 
Lloydi Colors Mixed Three $1.10, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
A beautiful weeping or hanging variety which does well in shady window 
boxes or hanging baskets. Equally charming in the rock garden. A 
beautiful mixture covering all the shades found in Begonias. A few 
bulbs planted in the rock garden will give ample color all summer. 
HARDY BEGONIA EVANSIANA 
Handsome Clean Foliage, Attractive Pink Flowers All Summer and 
Fall in Deepest Shade 
Three $1.25, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
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 Hyacinths, 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. 
CALADIUM, Fancy-Leaved 
Each 40c, Three $1.10, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
Fancy-leaved Caladiums are now being grown in large quantities and 
are available at a moderate price, so that they can at last be used 
as they should. By that we mean for garden planting. Nothing is 
simpler to grow and nothing gives as beautiful a mass of color as do 
the fancy-leaved Caladiums. Throughout the summer and fall their 
magnificent leaves create a wonderful effect, for cutting for table 
decoration they are unmatched. They create a stunning effect in vase 
or bowl, no matter how used. A group of a dozen or more planted 
in light shade or full sun is as colorful as a bed of Tulips. They are 
particularly valucble for growing in light shade when annuals would 
not do. Simply plant bulbs 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart in April 
or May, and it won’t be long before they are up unfolding their re- 
markable leaves. 
CALLA 
We call especial attention to the Yellow Calla, which is one of the 
grandest varieties in cultivation, and most valuable for house or con- 
servatory decoration. In April or May dormant bulbs may be planted 
near the pool in a sunny spot where they will flower beautifully in 
August or September. 
Elliottiana (Yellow Calla) Each 60c, Three $1.60, Doz. $5.75 
One that should be planted extensively. The deep golden yellow flowers 
are truly magnificent and produced in abundance. The green foliage is 
spotted white, which adds to its beauty; lovely house plant as well cas 
garden subject. 
Ethel Roosevelt Each 60c, Three $1.60, Doz. $6.00 
This rare variety produces pale yellow flowers which are about one- 
fourth larger than those of Calla Elliottiana and it grows about 6 to 8 
inches taller. It is easily grown in the house but also makes a fine 
garden plant, blooming over a long period during the summer. The bulbs 
should be dug in the late fall and stored like Gladioli over the winter. 
Ebsy increase in size, producing a greater number of blooms from year 
oO year. 
Rehmanni Each 55c, Three $1.35, Doz. $4.50 
The pink or rose Calla. A rather uncommon species, native of Natal. 
The flowers are small but pink and therefore most unusual. An uncom- 
mon plant for the greenhouse or outdoor culture. 
EUCHARIS - Amazon Lily 
Grandiflora Each $1.70, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
A rare bulb from the Amazon, producing deliciously scented, pure white, 
waxy flowers shaped not unlike the Daffodil. The foliage 1s handsome 
and evergreen, somewhat like that of the Funkia. May be grown in the 
garden in warm parts of the country. Does well in the cool greenhouse. 
Easily grown house plant. Give same care as Amaryllis.
