B. PENDULA . . . 
B. Pendula (hanging). The blooms of this 
type are generally two to three inches across 
and two to three inches long, hanging from 
thin wiry stems that swing and sway in 
the breeze like a clock pendulum. At first 
this plant will grow upright, but as the 
season advances the stems lengthen and 
droop from the weight of the bloom, mak¬ 
ing an ideal variety for the edge of a porch 
box or the sides of a hanging basket. Mixed 
colorings, with pink and salmon predomi¬ 
nating. 
B. MARMORATA . . . 
B. Marmorata (marbled, single and 
double). The single marmorata was one of 
the first tuberous rooted begonias developed 
by Lemoine and from this type have sprung 
the others. The bloom is three to five inches 
across and the single and double are marked 
very much alike. The main color is a 
medium rose, and it is marbled with a 
creamy white. The amounts of rose and 
white markings vary, but otherwise come 
very true to the picture. The left bloom is 
double and the right is single. 
B. PICTA . . . 
Although somewhat like B. Marmorata, B. 
Picta is a very distinct type. The coloring 
is similar; a deep rose base-color covered 
entirely with white spots instead of white 
marbling. 
B. CAMELLIA . . . 
Truly the Camellia of the Begonia family. The bloom is of good 
size and has a rose pink base-coloring shading to a cream edge on 
each petal. Is named for its close resemblance to the Camellia, and is 
splendid for corsages. 
B. MARGINATA, WHITE . . . 
B. MARGINATA, YELLOW. . . 
These varieties are of the single ruffled type, but with very dis¬ 
tinct markings. B. Marginata is a four petal variety. Its coloring is 
lemon yellow from the center of the bloom to within one-quarter 
inch of the edge, which is reddish bronze, making a very striking 
color combination. 
B. Marginata White is white from the center to within a quarter 
of an inch of the edge, which is a clear pink. This type or variety is 
generally the first seen when visitors enter our Greenhouse. Every¬ 
one seems to single out and exclaim over this variety regardless of 
where it may be located. 
This is the newest variety from Belgium ready for release now. 
It was imported in 1934.
