The John A. Doyle Co., Florists, Springfield, Ohio. 13 BEGO/NIAS—FLOWERI/NG VARIETIES New Begonia, Paul Rruant. — A really elegant Begonia. A Be- gonia that grows in fine, bushy tree form, increasing in size and number of leaves very rapidly. On account of its free growth and easy culture it is bound to become popular. It is of very heavy texture and a deep olive- green. The bloom is borne in the greatest abundance on long, graceful stems, a part being very large and white, the balance of the flower is rosy-pink. Con- tinues in bloom the entire year, and is a handsome plant at any season of the year. We have seen panicles of bloom on this variety two feet in length. It is incomparable as a fine Begonia. Price, 20 cents each. President Carnot.—A remarkably strong-growing variety,of stiff, upright habi^ foliage large and somewhat in style of Bego- nia Rubra, but more than twice as large; upper side deep green, under side purplish-red, flowers beautiful coral red, in large pendant panicles, A truly mag- nificent sort, we believe the best of the recent introductions. Price, 10 cents each. New Bogonia, Wettsteinii.—This fine Begonia is in the direct line of Rubra, so well and favorably known. The leaf is ornament- al,beingpeculiarly indented and a lovely shaded coloring, dark marbled green, shading fighter, with a line of scarlet at edge of leaf, the flower being similar to Rubra, but lighter in color. Pric, 10 cents each. New Begonia, Diadema.—This is a distinct and comparatively new variety, the leaf is large and deeply lobed, giving it a very tropical appearance. Col- or of leaf is rich, olive-green, handsomely spotted with silver. Its silvery dots and veins, as well as the fine habit of its growth, make it one of the most desirable plants. Price, 15 cts. each.
