Greenhouse Flowering Plants 



In this section we are listing a few of the best known and most popular plants that are generally grown. 

 With the exception of Bouvardia, which is usually grown in the bench, these plants are pot grown and are our 

 finest conservatory and house plants. 



BEGONIAS 



All Begonias will be shipped in paper pots. 



Glory of Cincinnati. This variety is a strong grower, with large, 

 heavy fohage. Its flowers are a beautiful shade of pink and carried 

 well above the fohage. The accompanying illustration shows the 

 general character of the plant when finished. As the foliage is heavy, 

 the variety makes proportionately less leaves, and since the variety 

 is propagated from leaf cuttings it will always remain in short 

 supply. Reserve orders for Begonias for Spring are essential. 

 May and later delivery. 

 2K-inch: $4.00 per doz., $25.00 per 100. 

 3-inch: $5.00 per doz., $35.00 per 100. 



Gloire de Lorraine. Beautiful clear pink in color and a very profuse 

 bloomer. It is similar in color to the Cincinnati, but it flowers in 

 greater profusion ; the foliage and flowers, however, are smaller. The 

 illustration of a typical Lorraine just before Christmas shows its 

 character. 



May and later delivery. 



2M-inch: $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100. 

 3-inch: $4.00 per doz., $25.00 per 100. 

 Florence Davenport. A new Begonia of the Lorraine type which is 

 considered by all who have seen it to be an improvement on both 

 Lorraine and Cincinnati. It is compact in habit of growth and 

 produces more flowers than Cincinnati. In color it is a brighter shade 

 and the individual blooms are larger. The fohage is smaller than 

 Cincinnati and not as brittle. It is one of the finest plant novelties 

 of the year. 



June delivery. 



2H-inch: $5.00 per doz., $40.00 per 100. 

 3-inch: $7.50 per doz., $50.00 per 100. 



Gloire de L 



Glory of Cincinnati 



Gloire de Chatelaine. This new pink Begonia, although belonging 

 properly to the bedding tj^pe, makes an excellent pot plant for 

 Christmas, its ease of culture being a strong point in its favor. The 

 plants may be grown in pots like the Lorraine type, but we recom- 

 mend growing them in the field or using them for bedding purposes 

 through the Summer. Pot the plants up by September and cut 

 the tops back hard. They will make good flowering plants for 

 Christmas. 



May and later delivery. 

 2M-inch: $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 

 3-inch: $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100. 



Perle des Geneve. A neat dwarf variety responding to the same 

 culture as the preceding, but requiring a semi-shaded location when 

 bedded out. The color, which is a bright coral red — the most 

 attractive among the Begonias — comliined with its compact habit, 

 adapts it nicely to making up Christmas foliage or flowering pans. 



May and later delivery.
