BEGONIA, SEMPERFLOR- 
ENS GOLDEN VERNON-A 
hybrid between Bef/onln Semperjiorens 
Bijon and Be(/onia Se.inperflorens Atropur- 
purea ( Vernon), and in itself combines all 
their merits. It has the golden-yellow 
foliage of the B. Bijou, but each leaf is 
bordered all round with a wide dark-red 
band; the contrast between the two colours 
is very striking, making an agreeable effect. 
Its flowers are red, and is as dwarf as its 
parents. Per pkt., l.s. 6rf. 
BEGONIA SEMPERFLO 
RENS, ZULU KING (Black 
Begonia) — This variety is of sturdy 
habit of growth, the round shape of the 
leaves, which are formed around the stem, 
giving the whole plant a rather crisp 
appearance. The colour of the stem and 
foliage is a beautiful dark black-red, 
which makes an exceedingly attractive 
effect if grown out of doors in summer. 
The flowers, of a brilliant scarlet with 
golden-yellow stamens, are produced in 
great profusion from spring until late in 
the autumn, and beautifully contrast 
against the remarkable dark foliage.
