IS Doable, Mixed 25 Sec a/so Bulbs. TUBEROUS RFGONIA NEW BEGONIA VERNON. This new flowering Be gonia is a decided acquisi- tion. It comes absolutely true from seed, and will stand the hot summer sun. Sown in February it will begin to flower in June and continue throughout the entire summer. The flowers are of a brilliant deep red color and are borne in im- mense quantities. The foliage is at first green, but when the plant is about two months old the leaves begin to turn red on the margins and gradually the whole leaf and stems are suffused. It thrives everywhere, and is so easily raised from seed, being equally valuable for growing in pots for winter blooming that it is bound to give satisfaction to all who try it. Pkt., 10c.
