TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS. The fashionable plant of the day, and richly does it deserve its honors, for in addition to very handsome foliage it bears a never-ending profusion of the most ravishingly beautiful flowers the whole summer, and then, with the coming of cold weath- er, very obligingly take a nap until spring, asking no further care through the winter than to be packed in soil away from frost. This trait will be appreciated by the many people who have no spare windows to carry over tender bedding plants, yet dislike to be at the expense of buying a new lot each spring. This grand plant is a rival to the Gloxinia as a summer window or conservatory plant, and as strong a rival to the Geranium and Verbena as an outdoor bedding plant. The enormous size and intense brilliancy of the flowers astonish those who have never seen any but the ordinary house Begonia. The bulbs can be started from March to June and will soon be in full bloom. Give partial shado out of doors and protect from severe winds if possible. Our strain of both double and single is a very superior one, many of the flowers measuring 4 to 6 inches across. Single White—Fine pure color; large flower. Single Yellow—Extra fine. Single Scarlet—Fine bright shade. Single Pink—Beautiful soft shade. Single Dark Crimson—Deep and rich color. 10c. each; the 6 for 80c. Double White—Extra fine. Double Scarlet—Large fine flower. Double Yellow—Very beautiful. Double Rose—Fine rose pink. SOc. each: the U for 50c. Single Mixed—Extra fine. 3for 15c.; 6 for 25c.; 12 for 40c. Double Mixed—All colors. A glorious strain of finest large flowered double sorts. 15c. each; 6 for 60c. Choicest Be£OItia Seed
