B. FIMBRIATA . . . 
B. Fimbriata. Ruffled blooms opening from 
four to seven inches and very double. They 
resemble a carnation in form, especially the 
white one. This variety is a good, strong 
grower and very floriferous. The small side 
blooms are single as with the other classes. 
After the center bloom has fallen, as it will 
with a very short stem, most of them will 
make wonderful rose bowl material as they 
stay in good condition a long time. Red, 
white, pink, yellow, copper. 
B. BOUTON DE ROSE . . . 
B. Bouton de Rose (rosebud). This type 
is very double but it has a different form. 
From the time the first petal starts to unfold 
until the last one is open, it has a rosebud 
center. The face of each petal is a creamy 
white, while the back is a soft pink, giving 
a two-tone or bicolor effect which is remark¬ 
able. This type does not come in distinct 
separate colors. There is a slight variation 
in form and coloring, but all will blend 
nicely with themselves or with other vari¬ 
eties. 
We have the largest collection of varieties of tuberous 
rooted begonias in the United States. 40,000 seedlings in 
three-inch pots, coming into bloom, and ready for planting 
around Decoration Day. We have grown them since 1918 
and find that as a general rule seedling plants will be more 
varied, grow larger, and have more blooms than those from 
bulbs.
