POLY GONUM (A New Ground Cover) ” 
Reynoutria. If you need a quick growing 
perennial ground cover for a sunny slope, this 
new polygonum will be most satisfactory. It 
grows only 4 to 6 inches high, spreading rapidly 
by underground runners. Foliage is light green 
turning a brilliant red in the fall. In late sum- 
mer it produces airy pink sprays of flowers 
similar to Silver Lace Vine to which it is 
closely related. One of the most attractive 
new perennials of recent introduction. 
65c each; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00.

tember. Perfect cut flower blending with all 
colors.

tapestry.

Camellia Powered 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
HEALTHY BULBS 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER 
GIANT CAMELLIA-FLOWERED TYPE. No one who 
has successfully grown these showy flowers is 
ever without a planting of them. The fact that 
they do best in a partially shaded place recom- 
mends their use especially to city gardeners who 
have the problem of shade. Give them fairly 
rich soil a reasonable amount of moisture and 
protection from strong winds and you will be 
rewarded with glorious color until frost. Ideal 
for shady window boxes. 
Easily grown by amateurs if the simple 
directions, which we supply with each ship- 
ment, are followed. 
Since they are not hardy, they should not be 
planted outdoors until all danger of frost is past. 
If the plants are brought into a cool cellar in the 
fall and dried off gradually, the bulbs can be 
planted out the following spring. 
If side buds are pinched off the center flower 
will be larger and more durable. 
Colors: White, Pink, Salmon, Yellow, Orange, 
Red. 
Mixed Colors. (Our selection from the 6 colors 
listed.) 
PRICE: 3 for $1.10; 12 for $3.50; 25 for $6.50; 100 for $22.00. Postpaid.
