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 greater 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 dua after the tops have 
been killed by frost and may be used again the following season. They 
increase in size from year to year.

boxes or hanging baskets. Equally charming in the rock garden. A

HARDY BEGONIA EVANSIANA 
Handsome Clean Foliage, Attractive Pink Flowers All Summer and 
Fall in Deepest Shade 
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. 
Three $1.25, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.09 
CALADIUM, Fancy-Leaved 
Each 50c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.50. 100 $30.00 
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 un- 
matched. 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 valuable for growing 
in light shade when annuals would not do. Simply plant bulbs 4 inches 
deep and 6 inches apart in April or Moy, and it won’t be long before they 
are up unfolding their remarkale leaves.

are truly magnificent and produced in abundance. The green foliage is 
spotted white, which adds to its beauty; lovely house plant as well as

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. 
They increase in size, producing a greater number of blooms from year 
to year.
