97frs. Shepherd's Sranci 9/ew Climbing ^e^onia 



W/aryor/e 2) aw 



This grand new beg-onia is a cross between Rubra and Glaucophylla 

 scandens, snd is one of the most vig"orous and rapid- growing- beg-onias in 

 existence. It sends out strong- canes 10 to 15 feet hig-h; these have nu- 

 merous branches, and when adorned with g-reat clusters of large, shining- 

 pink flowers that droop from long- stems, it is a beautiful sig-ht. Our 

 larg-est specimen in the g-reenhouse spreads out like a g-reat fan, from 

 the g-round to the top of the g-reenhouse, covering- a space of 15 to 18 feet 

 each way. In November it had over 150 clusters of buds and blossoms. 

 Flowers can be cut with long- stems and leaves, and are lovely for deco- 

 ration and vases. It can be g-rown in larg-e boxes, cut back and and made 

 to grow bushy. For summer decoration in the Kast it would be very val- 

 uable g-rown in larg-e pots or boxes in sheltered places. In Southern 

 California it grows outside to the g-reatest perfection, but needs to be 

 protected from strong- wind and hot sun. From lyi inch pots $1.65 per 

 dozen; .$10 per 100. I^arg-er sizes on application. 



"For single specimen pot plants, or for baskets and vases, 

 'Marjorie Daw' is proving- one of the best plant introduc- 

 tions in years." — Storrs & Harrison's Catalog-ue 1902.
