Clibrans’ New Hybrid Winter-Flowering Begonias — continued. 
Press Notices on “CLIBRANS’ PINK.” 
For description and illustration of this variety sec page 15. 
Extract “ Gardeners' Chronicle." 
” An excellent addition to Winter-Flowering Begonias. The flowers are double, 
and in colour a rich shade of carmine-pink. The plants are very floriferous and the 
habit is good.” 
Extract " Journal of Horticulture.” 
“ The flowers are double and of good size, rich bright warm pink, in heavy trusses 
or clusters well above the dark foliage. The habit of the plant is sturdy and bushy. 
A very excellent novelty.” 
Extract " The Gardeners’ Magazine." 
“ A line addition to the Winter-Flowering Class. The flowers are large, deep 
rosy-pink, with petals nearly an inch across. The foliage is large and bold, while 
the habit of the plant is good.” 
Extract “ The Garden.’’ 
“ A charming addition and likely to become immensely popular by reason of 
its delightful habit of growtli and the profusion of large pure salmon-pink blossoms 
which adorn the plant. Little more than 15 inches high when shown, the plant 
develops a large head of blossoms above the handsome leafy growth which con- 
stitutes so admirable a setting to the flower. It is absolutely distinct from all 
existing varieties.” 
Extract ”■ Gardening Illustrated." 
“It is a double-flowered variety, vigorous and free in habit of growth and 
flower, and an unmistakable acquisition.” 
Press Notices on “ Miss CLIBRAN.” 
For description and illustration see page 10. 
Extract " Gardeners’ Magazine." 
" A notable addition to the hybrid Begonias flowering during the winter months. 
The growth is rather dwarf and free branching, the leaves rich glossy green, and the 
flowers comparatively large, double, rose-pink, and freely produced.” 
Extract " Gardening Illustrated." 
" Begonias of the winter-flowering section were well shown by Messrs. Clibrans ; 
a splendid, deep salmon-pink flowered variety, named Miss Clibran, receiving an 
award of merit. The shade of colour is charming, and the plant is free-flowering. 
The variety should become very popular.” 
Extract " The Garden." 
“ A very handsome double-flowered variety, of a pleasing salmon-pink colour, 
the flowers being large and the plant abundantly flowered.” 
Extract " Gardeners' Chronicle.” 
" A hybrid Begonia, from a cross between a tuberous variety and B. Socotrana. 
It is therefore a winter-flowering variety. The flowers arc double, rich pink in colour, 
and very freely produced. Judged by its habit as shown and the finely developed 
foliage, this plant has an excellent constitution, and is capable of making very free 
growth.” 
Extract “ Journal of Horticulture." 
" Decidedly one of the finest winter-flowering Begonias. It is robust, of good 
habit, and has abundance of large, perfectly double rosette flowers. These are of 
a bright and pleasing shade of soft rosy-pink, quite distinct from any other variety ; 
the flowers, moreover, are borne in long racemes.”
