Bright Colors for Shady Beds 
Paul J. 
Howard's 
Tuberous 
Rooted 
Begonias 
The tuberous Begonias are 
among the most gorgeous and 
showy bulbous plants and the 
demand for our unexcelled 
strains is increasing every year. 
They are the most valuable for 
planting in shaded beds, in pots 
and in window boxes, where 
they make a glorious showing 
of bloom throughout the sum¬ 
mer and fall. Where Cinera¬ 
rias have been blooming in the 
spring, follow with a planting 
of tuberous Begonias to have a 
colorful showing for the rest of 
the season. 
DOUBLE TYPE 
FRILLED TYPE 
Our select strains are really phenomenal in 
size, texture and color shadings, the mammoth 
flowers often measuring from four to six inches 
across.

CAPE PRIMROSE 
f GIANT FLOWERED ENGLISH HY¬ 
BRIDS. These lovely flowers, hardy in the 
garden in California, give a luxurious ap¬ 
pearance to plantings in shady beds, slopes, 
and rockeries. Our strain produces flowers 
of marvellous proportions, embracing an ex¬ 
ceedingly wide range of colors, some with 
fine white throats, others delicately pen¬ 
cilled. The tones of blue, lavender, mauve, 
pink, purple, deep rose, and carmine of the 
large, gloxinia-like flowers make a beauti¬ 
ful blending in a bed of Tuberous Begonias, 
providing the complementary colors lacking 
in those flowers. The flowers are produced 
over an extremely long period and make 
wonderful pot plants for winter flowering.
