. Goodell's seeds, bulbs, rare water lilies, roses, and other plants. Nurseries Massachusetts Amherst Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. The Tuberous Begonia is one of the hand- somest and easiest grown of all house plants, and they also do well bedded out in a partially shaded situation. The plants are a mass of bloom from June to November. The flowers, which are both single and double and from three to six inches in diameter, are of a great variety of colors—white, various shades of yel- low, and every shade of red from pink to scarlet and deepest crimson. There is a richness and elegance about their flowers peculiarly their own and their exquisite beauty is not surpassed by any flower, not even Orchids; and the fol- iage is as beautiful as that of many kinds of Begonias grown for beauty of foliage alone. They are unequalled for the decoration of the house or conservatory during the spring, sum- mer and fall months. The seeds germinate easily and quickly, but being very small must be sown with care, as directed for Gloxinas and Calceolarias. If wanted to flower the first season, sow in January and February, but if sown at any time up to June they will form tubers for the next season's flowering. The tubers will keep safely over winter in dry earth in a cool cellar free from frost. They require about the same treatment as Gloxinias, and are greatly benefitted by frequent applications of liquid manure when in fiower. The seeds I offer were saved from the very best European and American strains and will produce flowers of the largest size and greatest variety of colors. BEGONIA gigantea.
