Single Frilled Tuberous-Rooted Begonia 
Dreer’s Superb 
Tuberous-Rooted Begonias @ 
This charming class of Begonias is perhaps the most handsome 
of all the summer-flowering tuberous-rooted plants. The im- 
provements made within the last decade in size, texture, and 
coloring are phenomenal. It is not unusual for the flowers to 
measure 4 to 6 inches across. They are principally useful for 
planting in semi-shaded porch or window boxes. Also fine in 
outdoor beds located in a partially shaded place where they will 
bloom continuously.
