MANIC ATA AUREA. GIGANTEA HOSEA. • NEW BEGONIA, MANICATA AUREA. One of the most beautiful variegated plants within our knowledge. The plain green Begonia Manicata is a very beautiful variety, clean and glossy, bearing the veil of pink bloom above. But when we find Mani- cata beautifully blotched with cream color, often pure snow-white, deepening into canary, no other plant that we know carries such bold markings, nor in so pleasing combinations of colors. Every one who sees it admires it the most of any foliage plant we grow. Price, 25c each; three tor 50 cents. BEGONIA RUBRA. If you can have only one begonia, let it be a Rubra, for it will prove a constant delight. It is so fast growing that it will, in a year or two, reach the top of your window, sending up heavy, stiff canes an inch in dianaeter, and rising beside them will grow, strong, slender branches, gracefully drooping under heavy, waxen leaves and pendant panicles of coral-colored flowers as large as a hand. Medium sized pl;:Bts are fre- quently seen with more than twenty such panicles at a time. Among the individual panicles you will flnd three distinct forms growing side by side. Price, 10c each; large plar.ts, 25 cents.
