poses as well as cutting.100 seeds, $ .35; pkt., $ .15 
Begonia Hybrida FI. PI. Pendula 
9492. •— New Double Drooping Begonia. Quite a new, splendid tuberous-rooted 
Begonia, the branches of which are drooping like the Ivy-leaved Geraniums. 
The pretty hanging shoots are tightly covered with elegantly formed, loose, 
double flowers, which are hanging downward on long, thin stalks. Flowers ap¬ 
pear abundantly in such shades as light and dark salmon, bright red and 
crimson shades. The single petals are rather long, narrow, often turned or 
waved, and give to the flower an airy, pleasing form, as it is not so set as 
the usual double Begonias. The leaves are narrow and a bit crenate, whereby 
they give to the plant in connection with the graceful flowers, an extremely 
elegant appearance. On the whole, the drooping Begonias either as a single 
specimen or in an arrangement of several form always a picture of striking 
beauty. Its growth is remarkably fast, for young seedling plants will in¬ 
variably produce from 16 to 20 shoots the first year. Its treatment should 
be the same as for any tuberous-rooted Begonia, but it is not suited for out- 
of-door decoration, as it cannot endure winds nor bright sunshine. Seeds will 
produce 75% plants with good double flowers.Pkt., $ .50

utmost confidence to be the finest strain for exhibition.

9510. — Veitchi. This remarkable Calceolaria is not only an absolutely new hybrid, 
but an extraordinary departure from the conventional colors of greenhouse 
Calceolarias, being milk-white in color. This remarkable hybrid was ob¬ 
tained by crossing a species — Calceolaria alba—with a new form and prac¬ 
tically an Albino of golden glory. It has a strong habit of growth, with 
healthy, strong, lance-shaped shining serrated foliage. It bears an abund¬ 
ance of bloom on plants, which grow to a height of about 3 feet and are 
quite bushy. 
Camellia Japonica (Double)
