Begonia Carmen 
CARMEN ROSE 
Carmen, when first introduced, 
was available only with 
rose-colored flowers. Now, 
however, the originator has 
developed the salmon and 
red. shades. Dwarf, bushy 
growers, with deep dark- 
brown foliage. All are ex¬ 
ceptionally free flowering 
and make beautiful showy 
plants. Carmen Rose was 
highly acclaimed by all who 
made their first sowing, and 
with the Red and Salmon 
completing the color range, 
these Carmen varieties bid 
fair to lead the Begonia 
family.
