TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS 
Tuberous Rooted Begonias are one of our specialties. We use the finest of hybridized 
seed and grow our plants in the open fields to produce the hardiest tubers. 
Tuberous Begonia Varieties—Tuberous Begonias are classified according to color and 
type. The single produces the largest flower and is especially valuable for colorful beds and 
borders. Offered in eight uniform colors; white, pink, rose, scarlet, crimson, yellow, salmon 
and orange. 
The Double Camellia type is perhaps the most popular; being of the greatest substance and 
having a very wide color variation. Offered in the same eight colors as the single but with a 
wide range of shades, and in addition, a double apricot. 
The Double White, scarlet (bright red), crimson (dark red), orange and yellow are true, 
distinct shades. 
The Double Pink varies from light flesh and salmon colors through the darker shades of 
rose and carmine. 
The Double Salmon varies from the pink through the salmon and orange shades. 
The Double Apricot varies from the salmon through the light and deep orange and orange- 
red shades including gold and orange-yellow. A very fascinating range of colors. 
The Rose-bud is rather an open double quite characteristic of its name. It is only available 
in a mixture containing shades of pinks, salmon-pinks, and salmon—all pastel colors. 
The Carnation-flowering Begonia (Fimbriata, or double fringed) is offered in white, yel¬ 
low, red, orange and pink. 
The frilled is a single flower with heavily ruffled edges. Like the Crested (single with a 
frilled or ruffled tongue covering the center of the petals) this type is offered in white, yellow, 
red, orange and pink. 
The Marmorata is a double camellia type speckled red and variegated with mottled white 
and cream; only the one color. 
Lloydii is the Trailing or Hanging Basket Begonia; many small fuchsia-like single and 
double flowers hanging in clusters. Available only in a choice mixture. 
Begonia bulbs are ready from January to May inclusive. The experienced gardener can 
start his bulbs in early February to produce the earliest of flowers in the spring. Prices of
