SINGLE BEGONIAS. 
A S sanguine as we were, we should have felt rather reluctant to have prophesied some years airo 
the wonderful perfection to which we have brought the Single Begonias. Now we have colours 
of the deepest maroon crimson to bright scarlet, even exceeding in colour the Zonal Pelargoniums ; 
in fact, far too rich for the eye to rest on for m«»re than a mere glance. The deepest rose and 
the clearest vcllow, and many intermediate colours—flowers stretching out nearly seven inches 
across—the s^iort, thick, upright growth and erect flowers that our seedlings possess, place them, in 
# the opinion of all connoisseurs who have seen them, far ahead of all others; and, without doubt, we 
have made great strides. What surprising alterations are brought about, even in a short space of 
time! Not more than 11 or 12 years ago, -when we sent out a set called Six-inch Begonias, it 
was laughed at as incredulous: some now boast of their flowers being above 7 inches across. Our 
Experimental Flower Garden—an acre of our Nursery and our twelve houses—full of them, has been 
beyond all question the grandest floral sight ever seen ; one cannot form the slightest idea of its 
grandeur unless they visit the Home of Flowers.

1 bad some Double Begonias from you last spring. Grand and magnificent are the only words 
I call'find to describe their beauty. -Miss falconer. D. T. Fish, and Beauty. of Befyroi'e are 
particularly fine ; D. T. FxsIl had blooms five inches across, and the flowers, like a mediuimsi 7 .ed 
pjeon v. 1 was at the great Autumn Show in Dublin bust week, and if I bad lgid a sufficient 
number for the 36 stand of blooms I could easily have outdistanced all comers.
