than ever, Stern’s now offers these exquisite flowers in a wide 
range of brilliant colors. Their lovely shape is a masterpiece 
of symmetry. Grow them in shade—where clear bright colors 
are most needed. A most effective cut flower when floated in 
a shallow bowl like a Water Lily-—-surrounded by its own 
leaves 
Guaranteed to Bloom This Summer! 
A Continuous Display Until Frost 
Easy to grow in a shady location. They cannot stand full 
sun. For longest possible blooming season, we recommend 
that you start Begonias indoors in pots or window 
boxes in March. Set outdoors after all danger of frost 
has passed. They bloom in clusters of three, one 
large male flower in the center and two smaller fe- 
male flowers on either side. Remove these side buds 
as soon as they appear. They are of inferior char- 
acter and inhibit the full development of the central 
flower. This disbudding will make an amazing dif- 
‘ in the size and beauty of the flower.
