SINGLE BEGONIAS, 
Jjf b sanguine as we were, we should have felt rather reluctant to have prophesied some years ago 
wi, the wonderful perfection to which we have brought the Single Begonias. Now we have colours 
of the deepest maroon crintson to bright scarlet, even exceeding in colour the Zonal Pelargoniums ; 
in fact, far too rich for the eye to rest on for nx'ire than a mere glance. The deepest rose and 
the clearest yellow, and many intermediate colours — flowers stretching out nearly seven inches 
across— the short, thick, upright growth and erect flowers that our seedlings possess, place them, in 
the opinion of all connoisseurs who have seen them, far ahead of all others ; and, without doubt, we 
have made great strides. Wliat surprising alterations are brought about, even in a short space of 
time : Not more than 11 or 12 years ago, when we sent out a sec called Six-inch Begonias, it 
was laughed at as incredulous : some now boast of their flowers being above 7 inches across. Our 
Experimental Flower Garden — an acre of our Nursery and our twelve houses full of them, has been 
beyond all question the grandest floral sight ever seen; one cannot form the slightest idea of its 
grandeur unless they visit the Home of Flowers.
