Autumn and Winter-Flowering Begonias. 
“Gloire de Lorraine” Type.

Award of Merit, R. H. S., Jan. 12th, 1909. 
Begonia " Patrie ” has created somewhat of a sensation in our nurseries during the past 
season. The extraordinary freedom with which the blooms are produced, the remarkable 
beauty of their colour and the vigour of the plant, combine to make it one of the loveliest of 
its class. 
The flowers, clothing the plant from base to summit, are of very distinct colour — rose- 
pink, suffused salmon-red — and remain in full beauty for many weeks. The character of the 
plant is well shown in our illustration. 
Plants ready in May, 1/6 each, 15/- doz.
