No. 
31 Begonia liybrida gigantea ,,]Ji;animotli“. A C^i’and 
AoTielty ! Flowers, leaves and the whole growth of the 
plant in general are of so gigantic dimensions, as never seen 
before in the whole collection of Begonias. The pale scarlet 
flowers are the most prominent feature of this new variety, 
they are of immense size and a well rounded form. They may 
justly be termed the „Non Plus Ultra“ of a Begonia flower. 
The beautiful foliage and the abundance of blooms adapt this 
variety particularly for bedding out. 
This kind comes perfectly true from, seed and is flowering 
very early. (See engrav.) Bulbs per doz. 5 5. Seeds per pkt. 6 d. 
32 Begonia hiybrida marmorata „Tlie 
ButtePfl.y“. The most interesting break which I have 
brought through several years careful culture to its perfection 
will be a welcome addition to every high-class collection. The 
plant is robust resembling the giant class. Notwithstanding the 
profuse flowering its blooms are of considerable size. The chief 
colours are either scarlet or bright carmine, spotted with white, 
which gives a striking contrast. It comes quite true from seed 
and surpasses by far the well-known striped variety (see 
engraving). Per pkt. 9 d. 
33 Begonia hybrida „with yellow een- 
■tPe“. The golden yellow centre of this fine novelty gradually 
merges to a rich rosy-carmine edge of the petals. The plant 
produces its flowers abundantly and all visitors of my establish- 
ment were charmed with their beauty (see engraving page 3).

M Bogonia fulgons* Throughout the whole of the summer 
it produces gorgeously coloured flowerstems, each about 7 — 8 inches 
long and each surmounted with a bold cluster of richly coloured 
flowers. The flowers are of a beautiful and lustrous shade of 
carmine each about 1— 13i4 inches in size, and early in the day 
a very sweet and pleasing fragrance may be detected wherever this 
Begonia is. Seeds per pkt. 6 d. Bulbs each 9 d. Per doz. 5 j. 
35 Begonia bybrida gigantea eristata. 
A bearded Begonia. A wonderful introduction. The sur- 
prising characteristic of this startling novelty is, that attached 
to the petals is an irregularly fringed appendage, closely resem- 
bling a beard, which gives the flower a most elegant appearance. 
It has been awarded by the French National Horticultural 
Society a first class certificate, and all connoisseurs shower their 
warmest praise on this grand variety, which has caused a 
sensation wherever it has been met with. To the mixture of the 
rich shades of terracotta 1 have been able to add a brilliant red, 
pale pink and pure yellow (see engraving page 3).

42 Begonia semperfLorens ,,Anna Re- 
gina“. The Queen amongst the Begonia semperflorens. 
Lovely eoloured flowers. Ploriferousness and elegant growth 
make this variety very valuable for grouping as well as pot 
culture. The plants growing very regular reach a height of not 
more than 10 inches. The elegant formed, darkgreen leaves 
have a metallish shine and are carmine purple edged. The buds 
of the numerously appearing flowers are darkcarmine coloured, 
and change when opening to a light carmine and afterwards 
into a charming darkrose. A'^ery effectual. Per pkt. 1 s. — d. 
43 Begonia semperfiorens nana com- 
paeta flore pleno, mixed. The first double 
flowering variety of the semperflorens class, which comes pretty 
true from seed. The colour of the flowers varies from the 
purest white to the darkest darkred. The plants are of compact 
growth and the uninterruptedly appearing flowers stand neatly 
above the bright metallish redshining leafage. 
Per pkt. 1 s. 6 d. 
No. 
36 Begonia bybrida gigantea crispa. Cur- 
led Single Griant Begonia, a startling 
Novelty! Quite a new type of the Giant Begonias. The 
flowers are as large as those of the old giant variety, the dis- 
play of colours is quite as rich, but the characteristic feature 
of this remarkable introduction is, that the edges of the flowers 
have a curled wavy fringe. The breaking buds with the large 
crinkled petals not yet quite developed, look like large double 
Begonias. Of the seeds about 30 “/o come true, while the rest 
is of the large roundedged type. The new variety will most 
likely have a great future and will in time work the others 
out of the market, like the present Primula chinensis fimbriata 
has completely outdone the old fashioned Chinese Primula of 
years ago. Seeds per pkt. 9 d.
