# Rosecroft Begonia Cardens, Point Loma, California # 
MARTIANA. Popular as the Hollyhock Begonia growth 
like a miniature hollyhock with mallow pink single 
blooms. Quite unlike any other tuberous even to the 
tuber which is round smooth and white. Native of 
Mexico. 
Prices of tuberous are not quoted as they vary from 
season to season, but Rosecroft will in this particular, as 
in all others, be careful of the interest of its patrons. 
Tubers are available in a dormant state from December 
1 5 to the end of February.

These are low growing many flowered sorts used very 
widely and freely for outdoor bedding; they also make 
wonderful specimens if given the opportunity. 
SEASHELL. Introduced by Mrs. Shepard of Ventura, very 
vigorous grower, taller than the type, blooms, white, 
pink edged, glossy large green foliage. 
MERMAID. A Rosecroft seedling duplicating Seashell, 
but of very compact dwarf habit. 
TANACER. Rosecroft seedling of Seashell, white with 
orange scarlet edge, very luminous. 
ROSABELLE. Another Rosecroft seedling; a beautiful 
mallow pink; very large bloom. 
MATADOR. The latest of the Rosecroft seedlings which 
we hope may fill the call for a brilliant light red 
with green foliage. 
BIJOU DE JARDIN. The smallest of all double red; 
delightful for favors in thumb pots. 
SCHMIDTII. A branching prostrate form with small 
white tinted blooms and bronzy fluted foliage. Good 
in baskets. 
Rosecroft also grows many plants that flourish under 
conditions similar to those Begonias enjoy, such as GLOX¬ 
INIAS, GESNERIA and ACHIMENES and has a collection 
of over one hundred named varieties of FUCHSIAS.
