TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS. TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS.—double and single. These are among the very handsomest of our Summer blooming plants, flowering throughout the season. Noth- ing can exceed the brilliancy of their colors, the delicacy of their tints, the richness of their waxy flowers, the gor- geousness of their effect in masses, or their graceful appearance in beds or borders. From the time the first blossom appears until all growth is stopped by frost, they are never out of bloom, and such blooms, great waxy flowers from three to five inches across, borne in such profusion that the rich glossy-green foliage is almost hidden under- neath the wealth of blossoms. On the approach of cold weather they should be taken up and the bulbs stored ♦away in a warm place until the Spring, when they may be started in pots before planting in the garden, double and single in five colors, red, white, orange, pink and yellow. Single, 10 cents each; Double, 15 cents each; two for 25 cents. We have both tbree for 25 cents.
