Gracilis 
Begonia Carmen 
Carmen. A new dwarf variety of the gracilis class. The glowing, fiery 
rose-colored flowers contrast beautifully with the deep dark brown 
foliage. An exceptionally free bloomer of dwarf bushy growth. A very 
valuable addition to the Begonia family and this importation bids fair 
to become a leading variety. 
Tr. Pkt., #1.00; 1/128 oz., #2.50 
Luminosa Compacta. A 1932 introduction of outstanding merits. The 
plants grow about 5 in. high and produce a mass of glowing red blos- 
soms on thin stems. A profuse bloomer; so prolific that the flowers 
practically hide the small dark brown leaves. Comes true from seed and 
is extraordinarly effective. 
Tr. Pkt., #1.00; 1/128 oz., #2.00 
Prima Donna. (Schmid’s) The best pink gracilis, beautiful large flowers. 
Tr. Pkt., 75c; 1/128 oz., #1.25; 1/64 oz., #2.50; 1/32 oz., #4.50

Luminosa. Fire-red with satiny dark brown-red foliage. 
Tr. Pkt., 50c; 1/64 oz., #1.50; 1/32 oz., #2.50 
Semperflorens 
Coral (1933 Novelty). Of strong, branching growth, about 8 inches high, 
with soft rose colored blossoms of a remarkable large size. 
Schwabenland. A striking counterpart to the well known variety “Radio.” 
These plants attain a height of about 8 in. and produce a mass of very 
large blossoms of a pretty, glowing, brilliant rose color. Very useful 
for group and cemetery plantings, but no less distinctive as a pot plant. 
Standard. A worthy 1933 novelty, especially effective in groups and other 
larger outside plantings. Plants are of robust, rich branching growth 
and attain a height of about 10 inches, producing very large glowing 
carmine-scarlet blossoms which are carried well above the heavy bronze 
colored foliage. 
Glow. (Glut) A large flowering dark red, with bronze foliage. A splendid 
introduction and invaluable as a pot plant. 
Rosabella. Extremely delicate rose and a rich flowering variety. Extra 
dwarf. Ideal for group plantings, but no less distinctive as a pot plant. 
A variety highly valued amongst the dwarf sorts. A perfect substitute 
for Lorraine Begonias. 
Zauberin. Very large brilliant pink blossoms, with small red-tinged green 
leaves. A magnificent dwarf variety—growing about 6 in. high—and 
the free flowering mass of 2-in. blooms almost entirely obscures the 
foliage. Resembles Gloire Lorraine. 
Tr. Pkt., #1.00; 1/128 oz., #1.50; 1/64 oz., #3.00; 1/32 oz., #5.50 
Chatelaine Hybrida. A lively pink. Early free and an abundant bloomer. 
Attains same growth and has the same habits as the Chatelaine variety 
grown from cuttings. 
Tr. Pkt., #1.00; 1/128 oz., #1.75; 1/64 oz., #3.50; 1/32 oz., #6.50
