CARTERS’ CHOICE BEGONIA. 
A VERY POPULAR PLANT FOR POTS AND BEDDING OUT. 
See Photograph opposite. 
Saved at our Nurseries from one of the finest groups in Europe, including only the 
newest and best forms, many of which are absolutely novel. Such a strain cannot be 
obtained elsewhere. 
The seed should be sown in heat in winter to produce strong flowering plants in the 
summer, in pans of very fine soil. Then prick off into boxes and pot off. Care should be 
used when sowing as the seed is very fine. We can also supply tubers ready to start into 
growth in early spring. See page 183. 
Begonia, Carters’ “Crown Jewels" Mixed Single. — It is 
impossible to praise too much this superb strain of this highly-favoured flower ; 
it is simply perfection, and needs but finished culture to attain universal 
celebrity, alike for size and quality of the flowers, combined with brilliance in 
colours. Grand for bedding out.
