& Rosecroft Begonia Cardens, Point Loma, California # 
Additions to Our Green List 
Not Originating at Rosecroft 
DOMINICAN Species. This was grown from seed gath¬ 
ered by the Government in Dominica. Fluted leaf, 
light cress green; bloom small, white in clusters; 
sturdy habit of growth, suggestive of Odorata 
Alba. 35 cents. 
DRURYII. Haageana type; smooth leaf of dull ivy green, 
under maroon purple; blooms white in clusters; good 
habit. 50 cents. 
CHIALA. White and Pink. These two are very similar 
except in color of bloom. However, our meagre de¬ 
scription in green list should be supplemented by 
stating that the leaves are wavy, very dark, almost 
black under, and the habit good. 35 cents. 
IMPROVED MARGUERITE. This has larger leaves and 
blooms than the original form and is entitled to the 
qualifying “Improved.” 
SPECULATA. Rhizomatous, closely creped maple leaf, ivy 
green with tea green shading along veins; under 
shaded Bordeaux; bloom light pink with green seed- 
pods, often classed with the REX where it fits in 
with the medium leaved. 35 cents. 
Errata 
On page 14 of our green list we have as a synonym of 
HOUGHTON I-UROPHYLLA. We are confident this is a 
mistake as Urophylla in Curtis’ Botanical Magazine is de¬ 
scribed as being rhizomatous and the illustration is not 
remotely like Houghtoni, a branching fibrous of the 
Haageana type. 
We have given the bloom of WALLOW as white, as it 
was under glass, but in the lath house this summer it was 
a light but definite pink.
