Tuberous Rooted Begonias 
Double Camellia T ype 
Tuberous-Rooted Begonias are fast becoming one of the most popular of summer 
flowering garden subjects with amateur gardeners in all parts of the country. 
Their showy blooms in many colors last throughout the summer until frost. As cut 
flowers they provide spectacular bowl arrangements. They are ideal for pot cul- 
ture, porch boxes or outdoor bedding. They can be started early in damp peat 
moss or vermiculite and transplanted to 4- or 5-inch pots as growth starts, or if 
ground is warm they can be transplanted directly to beds outdoors, in a shady 
location. Recommended soil preparation: use two parts of good soil and rotted 
manure, two parts leaf mold or peat moss, one part sand; 3 lbs. bone meal to 
the bushel of mixture. We stock the most popular type, Double Camellia, in all 
colors.

Gloriosa Rothschildiana 
Orange-Scarlet Climbing Lily 
Also known as the Glory Lily, the Gloriosa Rothschildiana tuber produces a 
climbing plant which grows rapidly four to six feet tall, requiring trellis support. 
From 10 to 30 blooms of brilliant scarlet and yellow develop from a single tuber. 
The plant thrives in southern gardens, but is also grown in the North in green- 
houses, and outdoors in warm locations during summer months. 
The tubers should be planted in a bed of rich soil. Lay the tuber on its side with 
the sprout end about two inches under the soil and the more slender end some- 
what deeper. The plant will grow in full sun or semi-shade.
