Morris County Gardeners' & Florists' Society. 



Morristown, N. J., February 15, 1910. 

 Begonia "Glory of Cincinnati" ... a grand ac- 

 quisition and distinct from existing varieties; excellent 

 in color, free-flowering, and apparently of good consti- 

 tution. Certificate of Merit awarded. 



A. Hereinqton, Wm. Duckham, Judges. 



Harrisburg, Pa., February 9, 1910. 

 It is the most beautiful plant of its kind I have ever 

 seen, surpassing other Begonias of like character com- 

 pletely. I congratulate you on the possession of an 

 extremely interesting and valuable plant, the spread of 

 which over the country will do much to give more people 

 a chance at beautiful flowers. 



J. Horace McFarlanu. 



Chicago, 111., February 10, 1910. 

 The three shipments you made to us of your new 

 Begonia * ' Glory of Cincinnati ' ' arrived in fine condition, 

 and were about the finest we had ever seen. The trouble 

 with Begonias formerly was that they did not last long 

 after they reached our customers' hands; but we have 

 received nothing but the very best reports from these 

 three shipments, nearly every one telling us how long 

 they lasted. Fleischman Floral Company. 



Chicago, 111., January 5, 1910. 

 I think this Begonia is far superior to the various 

 kinds of Begonias in size of the flower and keeping 

 qualities. I think the "Glory of Cincinnati" will be a 

 "glory" to you for years to come. 



Ernst Wienhoeber. 



Buffalo, N. Y., February 9, 1910. 

 This plant was subjected to what I would consider 

 very bad conditions. First of all, it was shipped during 

 extremely cold weather, and second, it was cared for in 

 the living-room with natural gas used for heat; but, 

 with all this, I wish to inform you that this plant has 

 kept far better than plants of the Begonia Lorraine 

 which have been under the same conditions. 



W. J. Palmer. 



Detroit, Mich., January 4, 1910. 

 It is certainly an improvement over Begonia Lorraine. 

 The plant is still at my home, and its blooms aeem fresh 

 as ever. I congratulate you on having discovered it. 



Philip Breitmeyer. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, February 3, 1910. 

 The bloom and lasting qualities of this variety are 

 far superior to those of any Begonia heretofore on the 

 market. a. Sunderbruch Sons' Co.
