Seedlings of Rubra. 



I also have some beautiful new 

 seedlings from Rubra, with very 

 large, thick light green and olive 

 green leaves, with large silver spots; 

 under side of leaves rich red or 

 claret; flowers, splendid scarlet, and 

 shaded pink or white. Very rigor- 

 ous. I offer a limited stock of these 

 for delivery after April 10th at 50c 

 and 75c each. 



All the seedlings have Rubra's 

 habit of growth and send up strong- 

 canes that with age, will in South- 

 ern California on the coast, attain 

 the height of eight feet or more. In 

 addition to the above, I have other 

 pretty seedlings at 25c each, after 

 April 10th. 



In case I should be out of any new 

 begonias when ordered, please state 

 if any new seedling shall be substi- 

 tuted. 



New Begonia, Semperfiora, 

 Hybrida Type. 



These form very bushy, symetrical 

 plants, completely covered with their 

 beautiful flowers. They begin bloom- 

 ing when three inches high and con- 

 tinue for months, after which they 

 can be cut back, and will immediate- 

 ly send up fresh growth and flowers; 

 fine for cut flowers. I offer them in 

 scarlet, red, pure white, deep rose, 

 pale pink, white edged with deep 

 rose, rose center. 25c each; $1.75 per 

 doz.; small seedlings, 10c each; $1 

 per doz.

"Pride of the Pacific." 



The handsomest and largest pink 



carnation out. The flowers measure 

 34 inches in diameter, and are about 

 the size of the Hermosa rose. The 

 petals are as large as some rose 

 leaves. The color is a beautiful deep 

 rose, the edges of the petals are del- 

 icately fringed and tinged silvery 

 rose. They are incurved like shells. 

 The flowers are borne on very long 

 stems, with three or four full blown 

 flowers out at one time. A variety 

 every one wishes on sight. Small 

 plants 50c.

 flower of exquisite shape, very fra- 

 grant, finely formed. One of the 

 most beautiful white carnations in 

 existence. 25c and 50c each. 



I have a number of other beauti- 

 ful carnations which I do not name

 riety a pretty new or good one may

 bring up a large proportion of 

 double flowers. 10c each, three for
