The Best Blooming Plant in Existence for Christmas Sales. Grown in pots, pans or bas- kets, it forms shapely plants 12 to 18 inches highland of equal diameter, which are covered with a mass of deli- cate clear pink flowers, so as to almost completely mask the foliage. A quick seller that gives perfect satisfaction when rightly handled. Success in growing this plant depends upon starting with perfectly healthy stock. Realizing the importance of this fact, we have paid par- ticular attention to growing our stock in perfect health rather than growing an enor- mous quantity of young plants. While we have a large quantity of stock plants, we shall not have as many young plants to offer as if we propagated everything closely.

All are in extra good health and can be grown on by almost any florist who understands the ordinary care of Begonias. There is no better stock on the market, and we doubt if there is any stock offered that has received the care in growing and prop- agating that we have given our pkmts. The stock now ready will make fine specimens in 5 and 6-inch pots for Christmas sales, and the September deliv- ery stock will make good speci- mens in 5-inch pots that will retail at $ and upwards.
