The New Double Begonia "Westport Beauty" 
A new, outstanding Begonia of semperflorens type, with perfectly 
double flowers which do not drop. 
The large rose-pink flowers are carried in graceful clusters of eight 
or ten, and are produced in great profusion. 
The result of a cross between Begonia multiflora and Begonia sem¬ 
perflorens, "Westport Beauty" is practically ever-blooming. A well- 
flowered plant may be had in a three-inch pot, while by keeping 
the buds picked off, it can be grown to six-inch size. 
Making an exceptionally pretty pot plant, of easy culture, it will 
prove invaluable for holiday sales, especially for Mother's Day. 
As a bedding plant, "Westport Beauty" tops all other Begonias. 
Easily propagated by cuttings, it grows rapidly with no more care 
than required by bedding Begonias. 
Awarded: Certificate of Merit at The Chelsea Show, England, 
May, 1936. 
First Prize at the Dresden Exposition, Germany, 1936. 
Price—-2 Winch pot plants: 100.$30.00 1,000.$250.00 
As this novelty is offered without any patent restrictions and at a 
reasonable price, we can not accept any orders for less than New Double Flowering Begonia 
‘Gy P ints. Delivery from February, 1937. All orders filled in rotation. "Westport Beauty" 
Early orders for Begonias "Marjorie Gibbs" and 
"Melior" will, we believe, obviate the possibility 
of buyers being disappointed later on. 
BEGONIA'S "MARJORIE GIBBS" AND "MELIOR" ARE NOW THE LEADERS OF THIS TYPE
