Winter Flowering Plants,
There are several varteties of the be

ever-blooming claims of plants, as under
ordinary trestmeot they are seldom

treatment they bloom profusely at
nearly all seasons of the year. In this
respect they are quite the equal of the
geranium. They are also of very easy
culture. All begonias do thelr best

mould containing a generous amount
of wand suits them better than a
loamy compost, but they will flonrish
